| Open-sources have reported that Yemen's Houthi movement launched a UAV and missile attack on Mokha port on the morning of 09 August 2026 (exact time not specified). The attack resulted in at least seven civilian fatalities and approximately 35 injuries. Casualties included port employees, with the port facilities and workers' residential housing sustaining damage. Yemeni air defenses intercepted Houthi drones over the city, and government forces prevented a Houthi explosives-laden boat from targeting the port's pier. The pro-government National Resistance Forces reported downing 11 Houthi drones during the attack. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree claimed the operation targeted Saudi military concentrations and weapons depots in the Mokha area, involving ballistic missiles and drones. | |||||
