Dubai, United Arab Emirates — U.S. airstrikes targeting the Ras Isa oil port held by Yemen's Houthi rebels killed 38 people and wounded 102 others, the group said early Friday.
The strikes, confirmed by the U.S. military's Central Command, represent one of the highest reported death tolls so far in the campaign launched under President Trump that's involved hundreds of strikes since March 15. The Iranian-backed Houthis later Friday launched a missile toward Israel that was intercepted, the Israeli military said, causing sirens to sound in Tel Aviv and other areas.
The war in Yemen meanwhile further internationalized as the U.S. alleged a Chinese satellite company was "directly supporting" Houthi attacks, something Beijing didn't immediately acknowledge.
