Yemen’s internationally recognised government says a Houthi attack on the Red Sea port city of al-Mokha kills at least four civilians. It says six ballistic missiles are fired toward the port on Friday, with the armed forces aligned with the government reporting that the strikes hit a civilian facility and economic and maritime installations.
The allied armed forces state that one port security guard is among those killed, while two sailors are missing and eight civilians are wounded. They also say the attack targets civilian infrastructure and national assets at the port. Another outlet reporting on initial information adds that fishing boats are set on fire.
Across the accounts, the agreed elements are that the missiles land at or near the al-Mokha port, civilian casualties occur, and maritime personnel are affected. Differences mainly relate to detail and initial reporting, such as how specific the damage is described (including fires involving fishing boats).
