Yemeni government forces announced that they carried out targeted airstrikes against Houthi positions near the coastal city of Mocha. According to military officials, the operation was aimed at neutralizing Houthi fighters and destroying military vehicles operating in the area. The Red Sea coast remains a critical theater in the ongoing conflict, as it serves as a vital supply route and a point of contention for both the internationally recognized government and the Houthi movement.

While government sources confirmed the strikes, there has been no immediate statement from Houthi leadership regarding the extent of the damage or potential casualties. The lack of independent verification makes it difficult to confirm the specific impact of the strikes or the current status of the targeted areas. The conflict in Yemen, which has persisted for years, continues to see sporadic military engagements despite various attempts at regional de-escalation. This latest incident highlights the ongoing instability in coastal regions, where control over territory remains fluid and subject to frequent military maneuvers.
