Yemen Government Reports Houthi Missile Attack Kills Four Civilians in Mocha
Yemen's internationally recognised government reported that Houthi forces fired six ballistic missiles at the Red Sea port of Mocha, killing four civilians and damaging fishing boats. The Houthis claimed the attack targeted Saudi-backed military assets and warships in response to regional tensions linked to the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. This escalation reflects ongoing hostilities between the Iran-aligned Houthis and the Saudi-backed Yemeni government amid broader regional conflicts.
