Iran-backed Houthi militants have resumed attacks on Yemen's Red Sea port city of Mocha, a Yemeni military spokesperson said.
Footage shown by Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV showed the launch of several ballistic missiles and drones, which Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said in a post on Telegram targeted Saudi troop concentrations and weapons depots.
The Yemeni military said on X that air defences were intercepting a number of drones, adding Houthi attacks targeted residential neighbourhoods in Mocha.
