Yemen's Mocha port hit by six missiles, official says
Six missiles struck the port in Yemen's Red Sea city of Mocha on Friday, a Yemeni government official said, without specifying where they came from.
“Six missiles targeted the Mocha port,” the official said.
Mocha is now under Houthi control. Earlier on Friday, media for the Iran-backed Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of launching two strikes on the airport in the city.
The Houthis seized Mocha on Thursday in a large-scale offensive against Riyadh-backed Yemeni government forces. No casualty or damage figures from the missile strike on the port were immediately given.
