Russia considers the US strike on the Ras Isa oil port in Yemen's Hodeidah province unjustified and unacceptable. This was announced on April 24 by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, at a briefing.

"As for the attacks by the US Armed Forces on the Ras Isa oil terminal on the night of April 18, according to the latest data, they resulted in the death of more than 80 and the injury of about 230 people. We consider such actions unjustified and unacceptable," Zakharova said.

In addition, she added that Russia, together with regional partners, will continue its energetic efforts to ensure that the situation in and around Yemen returns to normal soon.

The destruction of the Houthi-controlled Ras Isa seaport by the American army was reported on April 17. The Central Command of the US Armed Forces (CENTCOM) reported that the port was used for the maritime supply of oil, which the Houthi movement used "as a tool of control and to obtain economic benefits from the appropriation of profits from imports."
