Al-Masirah TV reports at least 58 dead in attack Washington says was intended to cut off source of fuel to militants

US strikes on a fuel port in Yemen have killed at least 58 people, according to the Houthi-run al-Masirah TV, in what would be one of the deadliest since Washington began its attacks on the Iran-backed militants.

The US has vowed not to halt the large-scale strikes begun last month in its biggest military operation in the Middle East since Donald Trump took office in January unless the Houthis cease attacks on Red Sea shipping.
