Ansar Allah’s media (Houthis) said Thursday evening that 17 workers and employees had been killed and that dozens were injured in “American attack” on the port of Ras Issa in the governor of al-Hodeidah, noting that the attacks were again renewed on the port.
The group announced earlier than 9 American raids were targeting the governorate of Al-Bayda, the center of Yemen, the governorate of Sanaa to the north and the port of Ras Issa to the west.
The Al -Masirah channel affiliated with the Houthi reported that “The American Enemy had launched 3 raids on the government complex in the district of Makiras in Al -Bayda”, without details on human losses.
The governor of Al-Bayda, which consists of 20 districts, is described as the heart of Yemen because he intervenes between the north and the south of the country.
The march also said that the United States had launched two raids on the Al-Sama region in the Arhab district of the Sanaa governorate. 4 raids were launched on the Ras Issa region in Hodeidah.

For its part, the Central American Management has announced the destruction of the fuel port controlled by the Houthis.
Intermediate leadership has added that American strikes on the port are aimed at undermining the source of Houthi economic power.
She pointed out that strikes are not intended to harm the Yemenis who “look forward to getting rid of the slavery of the Houthis”, as she said.
Intermediate leadership stressed that Houthis and Iranians should realize that the world will not accept the smuggling of fuel and weapon of a “terrorist” organization.
The port of Hodeidah is one of the most important ports overlooking Red SeaAnd the main artery to enter aid and goods in the country. It was created in 1961 and is characterized by its proximity to the world navigation lines, and it constitutes great economic value for the country, which has made it a conflict station in many wars of which Yemen has witnessed.
Since March 15, Anatolia has monitored hundreds of American raids on Yemen, killing 125 civilians and injuring 256 others, most of them children and women, according to Houthi data that do not include the victims of the group’s forces.
These raids intervene after the orders issued by US President Donald Trump to the army of his country by launching a “great attack” against the Houthi group, before threatening to “eliminate them completely”.
However, the group ignored Trump’s threat and resumed the bombing of the sites inside Israel and the Red Sea ships, heading for him, in response to the resumption of Tel Aviv since March 18, the war of extermination against the Palestinians in Gaza.
