The Yemeni government condemned a Houthi attack on Mocha port, calling it a terrorist act that amounts to warfare against the state and national economy. It accused the Houthis of systematically striking ports and infrastructure while alleging government siege, and blamed Iran for supplying weapons and technical support. The government warned the threat now extends to regional and international security and endangers Red Sea shipping, said it will protect strategic facilities, and urged the international community to take concrete steps to cut Houthi funding and arms flows rather than issue verbal condemnations.
