Mocha port has suspended commercial and maritime operations after being hit by
more than 25 missiles fired by Houthi forces, the port authority said on
Saturday. The attack killed seven people and caused an estimated $16m in damage.
Mocha, a Red Sea port near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait linking the Red Sea and Gulf
of Aden, lies on a key international shipping route. The port is held by forces
aligned with Yemen's internationally recognized government and has a smaller
cargo capacity than Aden and Hodeidah ports.
