Reportedon one origin only: 1 distinct origin, 1 tied to no party.
The director of Mokha port on Yemen's Red Sea coast told a news conference that commercial and maritime operations were suspended after Houthi attacks, Reuters reported via The Times of Israel. He said more than 25 missiles struck the port in recent days, killing seven people and causing about $16 million in losses. Renewed fighting between the Houthis and Yemen's government has undermined a 2022 truce, and Mokha sits near the Bab al-Mandeb strait.
