At least four people were killed after the Houthis attacked Al-Makha port in Yemen, which is controlled by government forces. The report, published on August 15, 2026, said the Houthis fired six ballistic missiles at the port. Part of the port facilities caught fire during the attack.

The strike on the important port further complicated Yemen’s ongoing conflict. A series of recent Houthi attacks has raised fears that major fighting could resume in the country. The source did not provide further details on casualties beyond the four deaths or on the extent of damage to the port facilities.

A 2022 truce had significantly reduced fighting between Yemeni government forces and the Houthis after years of conflict. Renewed attacks have raised fresh questions about the durability of that truce. According to the report, the recent violence has increased concern that Yemen could again face a full-scale war.
