American military commands stated that the purpose of offensives against the facilities of the strategic port in Yemen was to ‘weaken the source of the Huthis economic power’
The Secretary General of UNAntónio Guterres, is “seriously concerned” with the bombing of United States In an oil port in Yemen, a spokesman said on Saturday (19) after the rebels Huthis reported at least 80 dead in the attacks. “The Secretary General is seriously concerned about the United States bombings for April 17 and 18 in and around the port of Ras Isa, which, according to reports, left dozens of civilian victims, including five injured workers,” the spokesman Stéphane Dujaric said in a statement.
The American military commands stated that the purpose of their attacks against the strategic port facilities in Yemen was to “weaken the source of the Huthis economic power,” which control large extensions of the impoverished country of the Arabian peninsula. This was the deadliest attack of the United States against the Huthis rebels, supported by Iran.
Guterres expressed fears for the damage that the port would have suffered and a “possible leakage of oil in the Red Sea,” added Dujaric in the note. The UN chief also appealed to Huthis to “immediately” suspend his current offensive with missiles and drones against Israel and commercial vessels that sail the region.
The United States have launched almost daily bombings since March 15 to try to end the Huthis’s offensive against merchant and military ships in these waters, strategic for world trade. The rebels began their attacks at the end of 2023, in support of the Gaza Strip Palestinians, the scene of a war between the Islamist Hamas and Israel movement. Sometimes they also try to directly attack the territory of Israel, whose army announced on Friday (18), intercepted a missile from Yemen.
