The U.S. military hit a Yemeni oil terminal in a missile strike early Friday morning in one of the biggest U.S. attacks yet against Houthi rebels.
Yemeni officials claimed more than 70 were killed in the attack on the Ras Isa oil terminal, which serves as an essential fueling hub sustaining Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea.
The attack reflects the ongoing U.S. campaign against the terror group’s infrastructure, following Houthi attacks on American vessels and missile strikes targeting Israel.
