Houthi attacks kill 7, shut Yemen’s Mocha port
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.
The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
This attack shows how fragile the Yemen ceasefire remains. The Houthis claim military targets, but the Yemen government says civilians died. With Red Sea shipping already tense, India must watch for escalation. The key test: will the UN-brokered truce hold, or will regional powers get drawn in?
