Yemeni forces down 15 Houthi drones, foil attacks on Mocha port

Yemeni forces have successfully intercepted and downed 15 Houthi drones, thwarting attacks on the Mocha port and civilian sites along the western coast, according to a military source. A Houthi maritime assault targeting an oil tanker near Bab Al-Mandab was also foiled, resulting in the deaths of eight Houthi fighters, the source reported.

The Yemeni military source disclosed that Houthi forces launched a total of 44 drones towards Mocha port, with the Yemeni forces managing to shoot down 15 of them. The drone strikes caused a fire inside the port facility. In addition to the drone attacks, the Houthi forces targeted civilian infrastructure along the western coast and continued artillery shelling against Houthi positions on the western fronts of Taiz. The Yemeni forces also fended off dozens of drone strikes against Houthi sites in the region.
