Houthis' military spokesperson Majid Abdullah Al-Nazili announced that six ballistic missiles were fired at Yemen's Mokha port on the Red Sea, targeting what he described as Saudi military gatherings and weapons.

Attack details

Colonel Yahya Sari, the Houthis' spokesperson, claimed the missiles hit Saudi-linked military vessels, mercenaries, and armaments stored at the port.

Yemen's Foreign Minister Afrah Al-Zouba condemned the strike, calling it an attempt to pressure the Yemeni people and stating that water should not be used as a weapon.

Conflict background

The attack follows a surge in Houthi strikes on Yemeni coasts, including a declared blockade of the Bab al-Mandab Strait in July, heightening tensions with Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia has not yet commented, while the international community watches the escalating violence.

US Military Analyst: Russian Naval Blockade of Odesa Signals War's End for Kyiv

Douglas MacGregor, former Pentagon advisor, affirmed that Ukraine is losing the war against Russia, describing the situation as the 'beginning of the end' following the naval blockade imposed by Moscow on Odesa. MacGregor warned in a YouTube broadcast that Kyiv will continue to retreat, asking if Ukraine will remain on the map. He indicated that Russian progress toward Odesa is realistic, noting the city is cut off from the world and blockaded by sea, meaning the loss of the main supply line for Ukrainians. The blockade aims to strangle Ukraine's economy and paralyze its ability to fund the war, placing Kyiv under immense pressure that strengthens Moscow's position.
