DUBAI: Yemen’s armed forces said Monday they would respond to a Houthi missile and drone attack on Mocha that killed seven people and wounded 30 others. The military said it viewed Sunday’s attack on its units in the Red Sea port city as an assault on the armed forces as a whole, adding that any such attacks would be dealt with on that basis. “We possess the will, capability and initiative necessary to neutralize the sources of the threat,” military spokesperson Col. Wahed Abdullah Al-Nazzal said in a statement.

Houthis' expansion of cross-border attacks means an even bloodier war may be imminent, analysts say.

The targeted strike was dealt with the use of numerous missiles and drones
