Houthis target civilians amid smuggling route closures

The Houthi group launched a wide missile attack on the Mokha Port, targeting civilian facilities, food stores, and the homes of doctors and workers. This escalation comes in response to the field losses the group sustained south of Al Hudaydah and their efforts to tighten supply lines by closing land and sea smuggling routes. The goal of this escalation is to strengthen the group's position after repeatedly targeting civilian and economic sites, especially as their military capabilities have diminished and they have faced losses in the battlefield. These Houthi movements reveal an attempt to shift the confrontation from the battlefield to civilian and economic infrastructure, in order to increase pressure on their opponents. At the same time, there continues to be a tightening of the blockade on supply routes vital for supporting their military capabilities. Notably, supplies of weapons and Iranian experts have been significantly affected, highlighting escalating tensions on the Red Sea coast front.
