Yemen gov’t says Houthis hit Red Sea aid port

There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack on the al-Makha port on Yemen’s western coast.

Yemeni officials have said the country’s Houthi rebels have fired a ballistic missile and five explosive-laden drones at a Red Sea port, destroying humanitarian aid warehouses. The foreign ministry of the internationally recognised government said in a statement on Saturday the attack targeted al-Makha port on Yemen’s western coast. No human casualties were reported, but the ministry’s statement said the attack caused “huge destruction” to the port’s infrastructure and burned the storehouses of some aid agencies. It did not name which agencies have cargo stored at the port.
