Houthi forces target Al-Mukha port and Marib with missiles and drones

Houthi forces have intensified attacks across Yemen, targeting the city of Al-Mukha, Marib, and Taiz with ballistic missiles and drones. In Al-Mukha, the port director reported that recent strikes have caused approximately $16 million in material damages, including damage to six wooden ships and a dredger. The attacks on the port resulted in the deaths of seven people, including four security personnel and three port employees, and have led to the suspension of maritime and commercial activities, affecting roughly 1,300 workers.

In Marib, Houthi strikes targeted residential neighborhoods, including a bakery, causing injuries to civilians and damage to homes and vehicles. The Houthi group claimed these strikes targeted military gatherings, including those belonging to Saudi forces, though no official comment has been issued by Saudi Arabia.

In Taiz, intense clashes occurred in the Al-Barh axis. Government-aligned National Resistance forces reported that a Houthi attempt to seize military positions resulted in significant casualties, with estimates suggesting between 45 and 55 Houthi fighters were killed, wounded, or missing. Simultaneously, Yemeni government drone strikes targeted Houthi positions in the Al-Zuhayb and Al-Zaloul areas, reportedly killing several Houthi members and field commanders.
