Houthis retaliate amid smuggling losses
The missile attack carried out by the Houthis on the Al-Mokha port targeted civilian and economic facilities. It is linked to the group's escalation in response to its military losses and the tightening of its supply lines, especially after the shutdown of smuggling routes it relies on to transfer weapons and experts from Iran. This escalation comes amid a decline in their capabilities on the southern Hodeidah fronts and an effort to expand targeting vital facilities to deter their opponents and demonstrate their capabilities, yet it causes harm to the economic infrastructure and commercial activity along the western coast. This approach is considered one of the group's tools to confront military and economic pressure, focusing on targeting civilian and vital areas due to its inability to achieve direct field gains.
