This was announced on April 26 by Jamal Amir, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates in the government created in Sana'a by the Ansar Allah movement (Houthis).
"Yesterday, American aggressive raids were directed at a ship moored in the port of Ras Isa, with the aim of preventing it from unloading a batch of oil. As a result, three Russian sailors were injured to varying degrees of severity. These sailors are Roman Kashpor, Igor Kazachenko and Artem Vanin," Amir wrote on the social network H.
He also specified that the Russian sailors were picked up by the Yemeni coast guard service. They were then sent to hospitals for treatment.
On April 21, the US Air Force carried out airstrikes on a market and residential area in central Sanaa. At least 12 people were killed and 30 were injured. Earlier, the US military destroyed the port of Ras Isa, which was under the control of the Yemeni Houthi movement Ansar Allah. The US Central Command noted that the port was used for seaborne shipments of oil, which the Houthis used as a tool of control and "to gain economic benefit from appropriating profits from imports."
On April 17, Houthi spokesman Anis Alasbahi said that 13 people were killed and 30 wounded in US strikes on the western Yemeni port of Ras Isa. On April 13, the Houthis said at least five people were killed in a US airstrike on a ceramics factory in Yemen's Sanaa province. They also claimed that 13 people were wounded in the US attack.
