Six Houthi Missiles Strike Yemen Port, Killing Four

Yemen’s government‑held port of al‑Makha was hit by six Houthi ballistic missiles on Thursday, killing at least four people and damaging port infrastructure. The missiles, launched from Houthi‑controlled territory in the north, struck the harbor area, where shipping and local residents were present.

The attack follows a series of Houthi strikes on government and international targets in the ongoing civil war. Al‑Makha, a key commercial hub on the Red Sea, has been a frequent target as the Houthis seek to disrupt maritime traffic and exert pressure on the internationally recognized government. Yemeni authorities have not yet released details on the extent of the damage or whether any vessels were affected.

The incident underscores the continued volatility of Yemen’s maritime zones and the broader security challenges facing the region. International observers have called for restraint, while the Yemeni government has vowed to strengthen defenses at its remaining ports.
