Hodeidah Governor Dr. Al-Hasan Taher visited wounded individuals receiving treatment at the field hospital in Al-Khawkhah city following a Houthi drone attack that targeted civilian homes in the Hays district. The visit occurred amidst a broader Houthi escalation impacting several areas along the West Coast. During his visit to the injured, the governor assessed their health conditions and the quality of medical care provided. He affirmed the local authority's commitment to monitoring their recovery and ensuring their medical needs are met. Dr. Taher also received a briefing from Hospital Director Dr. Emad Al-Aini regarding medical services and necessary resources to enhance the hospital's capacity to receive patients from Hays and surrounding areas. This visit follows a period of intensified Houthi activity along the West Coast. Reports indicate that missile and drone attacks have targeted civilian and vital installations, including the port of Mokha. Sources suggest that the attack on Mokha port resulted in casualties, while other drone assaults were intercepted by defense systems. The governor's visit comes shortly after he narrowly escaped a ballistic missile attack by Houthi forces that targeted his residence in Al-Khawkhah city, with the missile landing near the premises. The targeting of the governor's home coincides with attacks carried out by Houthi militias in Mokha, Hays, and other locations on the West Coast. This escalation raises concerns about the expanding scope of attacks on civilian areas and assets within the governorate. Hodeidah Governorate, situated on Yemen's western coast, experiences ongoing security and military tensions, as Houthi militias continue to launch missile and drone attacks against government-controlled areas. |
