Houthi Ballistic Missile Strike on Mokha Port Kills Six
Iran-aligned Houthi rebels launched six ballistic missiles at the Red Sea port city of Mokha, targeting critical maritime infrastructure. Yemen's internationally recognized government confirmed that the strike killed at least six people and caused a major fire at the port. The attack signals a total collapse of the fragile truce as rebels maintain a maritime blockade on Saudi-affiliated ports. The Houthis also claimed responsibility for simultaneous strikes on a Saudi oil installation late Friday.
