Rashad al-Alimi vows full response to Houthi attacks on Mocha port
Yemeni President Rashad al-Alimi of the Presidential Leadership Council has issued a stern warning to Houthi forces, stating that any future hostile actions will be met with a full and integrated response. Al-Alimi emphasized that the Yemeni state is now more unified and capable of protecting its sovereignty and citizens through a single military command structure.
The warning follows a Houthi attack on the Mocha port involving ballistic missiles and drones. The strike resulted in seven deaths and caused significant damage to civilian infrastructure, including a hospital, immigration services, water projects, and commercial vessels. Al-Alimi noted that the attack serves as a test of the international community's commitment to peace.
Deputy Justice Minister Faisal al-Majidi characterized the escalation as a tactic by the Houthi group to divert attention from their internal administrative and economic failures within their controlled territories. He suggested the group is attempting to export its domestic crises by threatening international maritime routes, specifically near the Bab el-Mandeb strait.
