Yemen’s Houthi rebels used six ballistic missiles in their Friday attack on the port of al-Makha, the internationally recognised government’s army has said in a statement, Al Jazeera reports.
One port security official was killed while two sailors went missing, the army’s statement says. At least 8 civilians were injured in the attack, it adds.
Attacking the port, a key hub for the inflow of food and goods, as well as civilian infrastructure, shows the Houthi group’s “determination to impose a suffocating siege on the Yemeni people”, military spokesperson Colonel Majid al-Nuzaili has added.
