On the 14th local time, the Yemeni government forces stated that the Houthi armed forces launched six ballistic missiles at the port of Mocha in southwestern Yemen, targeting local civilian and national facilities in an attempt to blockade the population and exacerbate their plight. On the same day, Yemen's Ministry of Health issued a statement strongly condemning the Houthi attack on the port of Mocha and warned that this action would have serious health and humanitarian consequences. The statement pointed out that the western coastal region is already facing severe malnutrition and displacement issues, and that damage to the port and obstruction of supplies would directly endanger the supply of food, medicine, and health services, increasing the risks for vulnerable groups such as children, women, and the displaced.
