EXCERPT:
The pro-Iranian group said the attack on the port of Mokha was a response to Riyadh’s “aggression”
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched ballistic missiles and drones at Saudi-backed government forces in the port city of Mokha on Sunday, describing the attack as a tit-for-tat response to the kingdom’s “aggression.”
Fighting in civil war-torn Yemen intensified last week, prompting fears of further disruptions to global energy supplies in the wake of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the US war with Iran.
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the latest barrage came in response to the “mobilization” of government troops in Mokha and what he described as the continuing “unjust siege” of Yemen by the Saudis. Yemeni government-aligned media reported that at least seven civilians were killed and around 35 injured.
