Explosion at Oil Tank in Al Hudaydah Port After Israeli Airstrikes

The city of Al Hudaydah, Yemen, witnessed a massive explosion in one of the oil tanks at the port early Wednesday morning. Local sources reported that a loud explosion was heard in the city after flames reached one of the fuel tanks in the port's oil facilities. The sources added that flames and smoke were seen rising into the sky due to the failure to contain the fire that reached the fuel tank following Israeli airstrikes that targeted the port days earlier. The Israeli bombings on Al Hudaydah port last Saturday resulted in the death of nine civilians, injury to 87 others, and three missing persons, according to Houthi-affiliated media, as well as significant material damage and losses.
