Yemen's Mocha port halts operations after Houthi attacks, port director says
The port director said the attacks killed seven people and caused $16 million in losses as commercial and maritime operations were halted.
- Mocha port suspended commercial and maritime operations on Saturday after Houthi forces struck the facility with more than 25 missiles in recent days, the port director said.
- On Friday, the Houthis fired six ballistic missiles at the port, killing at least four civilians and targeting civilian, economic, and maritime facilities, Yemen's government reported.
- Seven deaths and an estimated $16 million in losses resulted from the attacks, according to the port director, as Mocha remains controlled by Yemen's internationally recognized government.
- Situated near the Bab Mandab strait, Mocha serves as a strategic Red Sea chokepoint connecting to the Gulf of Aden, though it has smaller capacity than Aden and Hodeidah.
- The Houthis claimed the strikes targeted a military build-up by Saudi-backed forces, escalating tensions amid a stalled UN-brokered truce and broader regional conflict involving Iran.
