Houthi’s key port for fuel imports destroyed, says Centcom
- Ras Isa is the Houthis’ main hub for imports of LPG and refined products
- ‘Today, US forces took action to eliminate this source of fuel for the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists’ Centcom said on X
- Houthis imported over 700,000 tonnes of LPG — almost all of it from Iran — since they began attacking ships in the Red Sea in November 2023
- AIS data showed vessels leaving their berths in the hours following Centcom’s announcement
US Central Command said on Thursday that it has destroyed the Houthi-controlled port of Ras Isa, a critical hub for the Yemeni faction’s imports of energy commodities
