Houthi Attack on Al-Makha Port
The Iran-backed Houthi group has escalated its attacks on the western coast of Yemen, extensively targeting the Port of Mokha with missiles and drones, resulting in the death of four soldiers, three civilians, and injuries to 15 others. Eleven drones were also shot down. These attacks come after a similar escalation targeting sites in Marib, Hadhramaut, Shabwa, and Al Dali, amid concerns of the conflict spreading to vital infrastructure and maritime navigation in the Red Sea. The Houthi forces launched large volleys of missiles and drones from areas under their control, including an attempted attack by a bomb-laden boat on the port. The port is strategically important, located near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and poses a threat to the economy and maritime traffic. Meanwhile, the head of the Presidential Council warned of a systematic war targeting Yemen’s resources and called on the international community to support the protection of vital infrastructure.
