Yemeni Houthi rebels have launched several attacks on the Mocha port, located on the Red Sea coast, causing at least seven deaths and around 50 injuries, according to Rai News. The Iran-backed militants targeted this government-controlled port, triggering alerts for strategic maritime routes in the Middle Eastern region.

The attack involved the use of missiles and drones aimed at the port city, escalating tensions in the Yemeni conflict. In recent days, the Houthis have also targeted other areas of the country, including Marib and Hadramout, and struck a Saudi refinery in Jizan, as reported by Vatican News.

The conflict in Yemen intersects with rising regional tensions, while the humanitarian crisis in the country continues to be felt severely, according to statements from various sources.
