The death toll from US strikes on a Yemeni fuel port has risen to at least 80, Houthi rebels say, in the deadliest attack of Washington’s 15-month campaign against the group, AFP reports.
Houthi media reported fresh strikes in and around the capital Sanaa last night.
Houthi health ministry spokesman Anees Alasbahi said rescuers were still searching for bodies at the fuel terminal on the Red Sea, suggesting the number of dead could rise.
The rebels’ Al-Masirah TV, citing local officials, said the toll from the strike had “risen to 80 dead and 150 wounded”.
