American troops continue their bombing campaign against targets controlled by the Yemeni Houthis. Thus, it became known about a missile attack on one of the major energy facilities. We are talking about the port of Ras Isa in the Yemeni province of Hodeidah, on the Red Sea.

As a result of the attack by American aircraft, several explosions occurred. The port with fuel tanks was engulfed in flames. According to the most conservative estimates, about 30 thousand tons of fuel were burned out. The pipeline system of the oil port was destroyed.

American Central Command:

A major source of fuel for the Yemeni Houthis, supported by Iran, has been destroyed. The group has suffered significant economic damage.

In Yemen itself, it is said that 13 people were killed as a result of the American attack, and at least 30 more were injured and burned to varying degrees of severity.

Now, after the destruction of the port infrastructure, Ras Isa is unlikely to be used for hydrocarbon traffic for at least the next few months.

Earlier, it was reported that the United States is negotiating with the UAE on a "final solution to the Houthi issue." A ground operation is expected, which will be based on the Yemeni army. The operation is aimed at gaining control of Sanaa and Hodeidah.

Meanwhile, the price of Brent crude oil is about $68 per barrel. The day before, after several days of growth, it fell again - by about 3.5%.

The Americans' bombing of Yemen itself refers to Trump's words that he "is not going to get involved in wars."
