Houthis strike Yemen's Mocha port with drones and missiles

MOCHA, Yemen — Yemen's western port of Mocha was targeted on Sunday in an attack carried out by the Houthis, with successive explosions reported across the city. Arab media outlets said the Iran-aligned group launched drones and missiles from areas under its control at the government-held port, and four new blasts were recorded in Mocha. Government forces activated air defense systems in an attempt to intercept the projectiles before they reached targets at the port, according to the same reports. Security alerts in the area were raised to the highest level following the strike. Mocha, on Yemen's Red Sea coast, has been held by the internationally recognized government and has been a focal point of the country's grinding war. No immediate casualty figures or official statements from Yemeni authorities were available.
