On Saturday, Al-Masira television reported that two airstrikes, allegedly carried out by the U.S. and the UK, targeted the port of Ras Issa, Yemen's primary oil export terminal.
Unfortunately, no further details about the airstrikes were immediately available.
This incident occurred amid an escalation in attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels on vessels in the Red Sea.
One such attack on Friday resulted in a fuel tanker, the Marlin Luanda (operating for Trafigura), being damaged and igniting a fire.
Fortunately, there were no reported injuries, and a U.S. Navy ship was providing assistance, according to the U.S. military.
The situation underscores the ongoing tensions and challenges in the region.
