Houthis extend attacks to Bab al-Mandab
The Houthis' escalation in Yemen continues significantly, as their air and naval attacks have expanded across multiple fronts including Marib, Taiz, Hodeidah, and Dhubab. The group has intensified targeting the port of Al-Mokha and commercial vessels in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Marib city was targeted with two ballistic missiles and two drones, with explosions reported north of the city, confirming an escalation in military operations against civilian and economic areas. On the western coast, the port of Al-Mokha suffered substantial damage, resulting in the death of four security personnel and partial infrastructure destruction, along with losses in imports and exports and a halt to maritime activity. Taiz has seen government forces defending against Houthi movements, with central areas subjected to shelling and artillery attacks. The figures indicate that 18 civilians, including children and women, were killed or wounded in these attacks, which also targeted vital facilities and commercial ships. The Yemeni government affirms its ongoing efforts to confront these attacks and protect civilians, amid concerns that the tensions in Yemen are linked to the safety of navigation in Bab el-Mandeb and the Strait of Hormuz, with regional and international support for efforts to safeguard maritime security in the region.
