Yemeni army downs 15 Houthi drones in attack on Mocha port
Yemeni forces intercepted 15 Houthi drones targeting Mocha port, as President Al-Alimi links the assault to broader Iranian escalation.
In a recent attack on Mocha port in Yemen's Taiz province, Yemeni forces successfully intercepted and shot down at least 15 Houthi drones, according to sources. The Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council Chairman, Rashad Al-Alimi, linked the assault to a broader Iranian escalation in the region. Al-Alimi stated that the targeting of Mocha port, a crucial economic gateway for the Yemeni people, demonstrates that the Houthi militia is waging a systematic war against the country's resources and infrastructure.
Al-Alimi warned that the Houthi militia, which continues to blockades areas under its control, is also targeting ports, airports, and economic facilities, further threatening commercial vessels and essential supplies such as food and fuel. These attacks, he said, aim to strangle the Yemeni people and exacerbate the ongoing humanitarian crisis. The Saba news agency reported Al-Alimi's remarks on Sunday, highlighting the evolving situation in the region.
