AL-MUKALLA: At least two Yemeni government soldiers were killed in southern Yemen as the Houthis launched a new wave of drone attacks on government-controlled areas in Aden, Mocha and Shabwa.
The escalation came as the Yemeni army vowed on Monday to respond to Houthi drone and missile strikes on the Red Sea port city of Mocha that killed seven people and wounded 30 others.
A Houthi drone struck a position belonging to the Shabwa Defense Forces in Najd Margad, near the border with Marib, killing two soldiers and wounding several others, according to local media and social media posts by friends of the victims.
Gunfire was also heard across the southern port city of Aden, the seat of Yemen’s internationally recognized government, as air defenses opened fire on drones hovering over what local security forces described as “vital facilities.”
