US �concerned� over air raid on Yemen port

AFP, WASHINGTON: The US said it is very concerned over recent Saudi-led air strikes on the city of Hodeida in Yemen, noting the port’s important role as a “lifeline” for humanitarian relief.
A statement from a White House National Security Council spokesman late Thursday joins a chorus of international voices criticizing the strikes that seemingly were targeting Shiite Huthi rebels controlling the city, but also reportedly killed dock workers and damaged infrastructure.
“We are deeply concerned by the August 18 attack on critical infrastructure at the port of Hodeida in Yemen,” spokesman Alistair Baskey said.
