A WAVE of air attacks on Yemen’s Ras Isa oil port killed at least 74 people and wounded 171 others, the Houthi-led Yemeni government said today.

The attack, confirmed by the US military’s Central Command, represents one of the highest reported death tolls so far in the campaign launched under President Donald Trump that has involved hundreds of strikes since March 15. 

The Yemenis launched a missile toward Israel later today that the Israeli military claimed was intercepted.
