  "account": "Yemen's government reported that Iran-backed Houthi missiles struck the Red Sea port of Mocha on Friday, resulting in the deaths of at least four civilians and wounding eight others. The Houthi attack targeted a civilian facility and economic and maritime installations in the port city. The Yemeni armed forces, which are aligned with the government, confirmed the incident and stated that two sailors were missing. The escalation in hostilities between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed government has intensified in recent weeks due to heightened regional tensions stemming from the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. The Yemeni government has been working to prevent further conflict in the region.",
