The death toll from the American enemy's targeting of the Ras Issa facility has risen to 74 martyrs and 171 wounded in a non-final count," says a spokesperson for the Houthi movement.
The US military command for the Middle East, Centcom, announced on Wednesday evening that it had struck the fuel depot in Ras Issa, but did not mention any dead or wounded.
Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen have been attacked almost daily since the US launched its airstrikes in mid-March.
The Houthi movement has also regularly fired rockets and drones towards Israel since the Gaza war broke out in October 2023. During the night towards Friday, a rocket from Yemen was stopped, according to the Israeli military.
"After the sirens that sounded for a short time ago in several areas of Israel, a rocket fired from Yemen was intercepted," writes the Israeli army on the messaging service Telegram and adds that air defense systems had been deployed "to stop the threat".
Iran condemns the "barbaric" attacks, announces Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesperson for the country's foreign ministry.
US President Donald Trump has previously said that the attacks will continue until the Houthi movement is no longer a threat to shipping in the Red Sea.
