Six vessels carrying weapons and military equipment have reportedly arrived at ports and coastal areas controlled by the Houthi militia, specifically the port of Salif in Hodeidah Governorate, the city of Mokha in Taiz Governorate, and Zukur Island in the Red Sea. Sources indicated that the ships arrived successively over a recent period, with their cargo including quantities of weapons, equipment, and military supplies. The unloading and transfer of some of this equipment reportedly occurred under strict security measures. The arrival of these vessels coincides with an escalation of military activities along the West Coast and in the Red Sea. The Houthi militia continues to reinforce its positions and expand its presence in several coastal areas and islands off the Yemeni coast. The arrival of these arms shipments has raised concerns about the potential use of ports and coastal areas for transferring and enhancing military capabilities. This development could exacerbate tensions and threaten international navigation security in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab strait. |
