UN team visits site of criminal US strike on Ras Issa port — Hodhod Yemen News Agency
2025-04-22
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] A delegation from the UN mission based in Hodeidah province visited the scene of the US Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s on the ports of al-Salif and Ras Issa on Monday to assess the extent of the damage.

During the visit, the delegation observed the extensive damage to the infrastructure of the two ports and heard an explanation of the serious repercussions of targeting the ports and their impact on the humanitarian and economic situation in the country, especially in light of the ongoing blockade and the escalating humanitarian crisis.

Members of the UN mission expressed their deep dismay at the extent of the destruction, stressing that their visit aims to document violations in accordance with international humanitarian law and that they are preparing a neutral and objective report to be submitted to the relevant UN agencies.

For his part, Colonel al-Matari, head of the Yemen

 to uncover and expose the crimes of US aggression, noting that the destruction of the ports hinders the delivery of aid and increases the suffering of citizens.

The Salif Port and Ras Issa Port are considered one of the most prominent maritime outlets for the import of basic materials, and their targeting has disrupted operational operations.

This comes amid international warnings of the increasing intensity of the humanitarian crisis in the event of continued targeting and siege

#6  ^^ Both arguments are why it's so important for RB news consumers to know where the info is coming from. I do my best to add a tag in each to show the source, but hovering over the link does the same thing

#5  Once again I ask that a separate category be created for 'news' from suspect non Western sources.

Regnum could even have it's own category and HODHOD could have a category with Tehran media for example

regnum.ru has the best all around news coverage of news from Russia and elsewhere. It would take considerably more time for me to scope out the non military operation news from sources such as ria.ru and rt.ru

Western news sources in their Ukrainian war reporting, in my opinion, are every bit as state run as regnum.ru

They do not provide and accurate picture of what is happening on the battlefield.

If you study the Russian military tendencies, you will find that, save for the occasional reverses, Russia has accurate reporting of what is happening on the battlefield.

The best part of this is that YOU can submit your own articles from whatever source you want, and, if it is up to our standards, it will be published.
