Six missiles hit Yemen's Red Sea Mocha port: local official

Six missiles struck the port on Friday in Yemen's strategic Red Sea city of Mocha, now under Houthi control, a local official told AFP, without specifying where they came from.

"Six missiles targeted the Mocha port," the Yemeni government official said.

Earlier on Friday, media for the Iran-backed Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of launching two strikes on the airport in Mocha, which the Houthis seized on Thursday in a large-scale offensive against Riyadh-backed Yemeni government forces.
