Yemen's internationally recognised government said the Houthis fired six ballistic missiles at Mocha, killing at least four civilians, while the armed forces said one port security guard was killed, two sailors were missing and eight civilians were wounded, Reuters reported via TimesLIVE. The Houthis said they struck a buildup of weapons and warships of Saudi-backed forces, and their Saba agency said they also hit an Aramco facility in Najran with a drone, which Saudi Arabia did not confirm. On 15 August the port director said Mocha had suspended operations after more than 25 missiles in recent days, with seven killed and about $16 million in losses.
