More than 70 have been killed and several others are wounded after a US airstrike on an important oil port held by Yemen's Houthi rebels. This is considered to be a major escalation in the military campaign that President Donald Trump launched last month against the Iranian-backed group.

U.S. strikes on Yemen's Ras Isa fuel terminal on the Red Sea coast have killed at least 74 people in the deadliest attack since the U.S. started its bombing campaign against the Houthis last year, according to the Houthi-run health ministry.
