US strikes on a Yemeni fuel port killed at least 74 people, Huthi rebels said yesterday, in the deadliest attack of Washington's 15-month campaign against the Iran-backed group.

The strikes on Ras Issa aimed at cutting off supplies and funds for the rebels that control large swathes of the Arabian Peninsula's poorest country, the United States military said.

Images broadcast by a Huthi-run television station showed large blazes lighting up the night sky, following the latest in an intensified barrage of attacks under US President Donald Trump.
