Civilian facilities at Yemen’s Mocha port were targeted by drones on Sunday in an attack attributed to the Houthi group, according to the port’s director, as tensions continue to rise along Yemen’s western coast and in the Red Sea region, AzerNEWS reports via Voiceofemirates.

The port director said civilian infrastructure within the port had come under attack, according to remarks carried by Al-Araby TV.

The extent of the damage remains unclear, while there is no confirmed information on possible casualties.

The attack marks the latest reported strike on the port, which is located on Yemen’s western coast and has become an important point of concern amid heightened tensions affecting maritime security in the Red Sea.

In a later development, media reports indicated that another attack had occurred in the vicinity of Mocha.

Details surrounding the reported second incident, including the target, method of attack and possible damage, were still being verified.

Local authorities were monitoring the situation, while the Houthi group had not issued a detailed statement clarifying the circumstances surrounding the reported attacks or identifying the targets it claimed to have struck.

The latest incidents come amid continued security concerns along Yemen’s western coastline and growing uncertainty over maritime traffic through the wider Red Sea area.
