massive port explosion in iran, Shaheed Rajaee Port which is a large container port. Over 500 reported injured, unknown number of casualties. If you watch the videos it is strikingly similar to the Beirut explosion a few years ago

Investigations and recovery are still ongoing

BREAKING | A massive explosion has been reported at the Port of Shahid Rajaee, one of two parts of the port of Bandar Abbas, located on the north shores of the Strait of Hormuz in southern Iran.

According to Mehr News, a fuel tank in the port exploded for an unknown reason, and rapid response teams were immediately dispatched to the area.

Port activities have now been suspended so that the situation can be quickly brought under control by security and relief forces.

The number of casualties from the explosion has yet to be determined.

UPDATE | The number of injured in the Shahid Rajaee port explosion has risen to at least 516.

Disgustingly they said because the port serves as a source of revenue and fuel and the attack was to "degrade the economic source of power of the Houthis who continue to exploit and bring pain on their fellow countrymen," which they say as they indiscriminately kill civillians.

havent posted in a few years, been lurking since october 23, my whole family is in Jenin, but I live in the so called united states. So I'll try to post news from and about Palestine when I can as my contribution to the mega.

havent seen this posted yet but US killed 70+ civilians and injured over 200 at Ras Issa Port in Hodeidah, very significant escalation in my view

UPDATE | Sanaa's ministry of health reports that the death toll of the US attack on Ras Issa Port in Hodeidah last night has reached 74 Yemenis.

At least 171 others were injured.

Rescue teams from the ambulance and civil defense are still identifying missing persons and searching for victims.
