Houthi attacks in Yemen resulted in 11 deaths and injured 32 others, according to a medical source in the port city of Mokha. The violence followed a drone attack on a Saudi oil refinery situated on the Red Sea coast. The ongoing truce in Yemen's civil war between the Houthi rebels and the Saudi-backed government appeared to have ended last month.
The Houthi attacks targeted civilians and military personnel in Mokha, with three civilians and eight military personnel losing their lives. Six others were injured, all civilians, as a result of strikes on the city's port. Military spokesman Yahya Saree claimed the Houthis had targeted Saudi enemy troops and equipment using missiles and drones.
In addition, the rebels launched an attack on a Saudi oil facility on the Red Sea coast after the kingdom's energy ministry reported extinguishing a fire at the Jazan site. Saree stated that the attack on the Aramco-operated facility was a retaliation for drone incursions from Saudi Arabia into northwest Yemen.
