Summary

U.S. airstrikes on Yemen's Houthi-led forces in Hudaydah province caused significant casualties, with at least 74 deaths and over 150 injuries at Ras Isa port. The Houthis, also involved in attacks near Israel and the Red Sea to support Palestinian rights in Gaza, have been targeting major fuel depots since the U.S.-led campaign began late Thursday. This strike is among the deadliest since March under President Trump's escalation, with over 190 casualties reported since then.
