Houthis step up attacks on Yemen's west
The Houthis, supported by Iran, attacked the Mukha port on Yemen's western coast with missiles and drones, resulting in the death of 7 people and injuries to 15 others. The port facilities suffered severe damage. Military sources announced that the defenses shot down 11 drones out of the attacks, while internet and communication networks in the area were disrupted. The attacks targeted civilian facilities and included an assault on a solar energy field. The port holds strategic importance due to its proximity to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a vital maritime passage, which puts maritime traffic and services at risk. Officials warned that the Houthi escalation threatens regional security and jeopardizes trade movement, urging the international community to take decisive action to protect civilian infrastructure and international waters.
