Houthi missile attacks on Yemen's Mocha port have killed seven people and forced a suspension of commercial and maritime operations, the port director said. Losses are estimated at $16 million. Yemen's government separately reported that Houthis fired six ballistic missiles, killing at least four civilians on Friday. The Houthis said they targeted Saudi-backed military build-ups. The attacks raise fears of renewed large-scale conflict in Yemen after a 2022 truce.
