Evaluate the death tolls of the Trump campaign, which is March 15, has been incredible, since so far the central command of the US Army. UU. It has not published any information about the campaign, its specific objectives and how many people have bone. Meanwhile, Yemen’s hutis rebels strictly control access to attacked areas and do not publish information about strikes, many of which have probably been aimed at military and security sites. However, the strike in the Petrolero Ras Isa port, which sent fireballs shooting to the night sky, represented a great escalation for the US campaign. The Houthis also immediately launched graphic images of those killed in the attack.
The Hutis denounced the attack of the United States. “This completely unjustified aggression represents a flagrant violation of the sovereignty and independence of Yemen and a direct orientation of the entire Yemeni people,” the hutis said in a statement carried by the Saba news agency they control. “It goes to a vital civil installation that has served the Yemeni people for decades.”

Meanwhile, they will condemn US air attacks to Ras Isa. The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Esmaeil Baqaei, “strongly condemned the barbarian US air attack in the port of Isa de Yemen,” which describes it as “an example of aggressive crime and a shameless violation of the fundamental principles of the letter.”
A ‘fuel source’ for hutis

Toke toke action to eliminate this fuel source for huti terrorists backed by Iran and deprive them of illegal income that has founded Houthi efforts to terrorize the entire region.” “This strike did not intend to damage Yemen’s people, who rightly wants to throw the yoke of the hutí subjugation and live in peace,” he added.
The Puerto Ras Isa is the term of an oil pipe that extends to the Mariab governorate rich in Yemen energy. Yemen’s oil exports have stopped in the decade war, and hutis have used Isa ras to bring oil. On April 9, the United States Department of State issued a warning on oil shipments to Yemen. “The United States should not tolerate any country or commercial entity that provides support to foreign terrorist organizations, such as hutis, including discharge boats and oil supply in Houthi controlled ports,” he said.
Chinese satellite signature accused of helping huti attacks

The spokeswoman for the US Department of the United States. Tammy Bruce, in an informative session with journalists, accused Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co. Ltd., a provider of commercial satellite images or “directly supporting Huthi terrorist attacks supported by Iran against US interests.”
