Sanaa [Yemen], August 9 (ANI): Yemen's Houthis have launched a barrage of missiles and drones targeting the Red Sea port of Al-Mokha in the nation's south-west, an area under the control of the internationally recognised government, Al Jazeera reported, citing Yemen Today TV and state-run Saba TV.
In their statement, the group claimed that the attack specifically targeted "Saudi enemy troops and weapons depots" stationed at the port site.
The director of Al-Mokha port was quoted by Yemen Today as confirming that several incoming missiles had directly struck civilian areas within the facility.
The strike marks a significant escalation in the ongoing regional conflict, highlighting the persistent volatility surrounding Yemen's key Red Sea shipping lanes and port infrastructure.
The assault on Jazan coincided with reports of an explosion and fire at a Saudi Aramco gas facility in Jubail, situated on the Kingdom's eastern coast.
