U.S. forces committed a horrific massacre by directly targeting the Ras Issa oil facility in Al-Hudaydah governorate, resulting in the martyrdom of 17 workers and employees, and injuring dozens more, according to an initial toll documenting yet another crime added to the United States’ dark record in Yemen.
The attack, carried out through a series of airstrikes launched by Washington on the port, directly hit civilian work sites and vital economic facilities, while teams were performing their daily duties without any military presence, exposing the true nature of the American aggression as a systematic targeting of Yemen’s infrastructure and livelihoods.
Civil defense and emergency teams continue their efforts to extinguish the fires that broke out at the port due to the bombing, under extremely difficult conditions given limited resources and ongoing aerial threats.
This crime comes within the context of repeated U.S. escalation targeting civilian sites across several Yemeni provinces, reflecting a clear aggressive policy aimed at destroying the country’s resources and starving its people under flimsy pretexts, such as depriving the Houthis (Ansar Allah) of revenues, as stated by U.S. Central Command.
Behind these pretexts, the reality is clear: Washington is deeply involved in war crimes against civilians in Yemen — crimes that do not expire with time and will not be forgotten by a people enduring siege, bombardment, and starvation for years, while the world turns a blind eye to the brutality of an empire armed with impunity.
