Eight Fishermen Killed in Maritime Mine Explosion Off Hodeidah Coast
A tragic incident occurred in the Red Sea, where eight fishermen lost their lives and two others sustained injuries due to an explosion from a maritime mine left by the Houthi militia. This information was confirmed by human rights activist Ishraq Al-Maqatari.
Details of the Incident
The explosion took place on the evening of the day before yesterday while the fishermen were on a commercial trip. They were aboard a boat that had departed from Al-Mokha in Taiz Governorate, heading towards the Salif port in Hodeidah.
Impact on Local Fishermen
The fishermen hailed from Wahja village in the Dhubab district. Al-Maqatari emphasized that this incident adds to a troubling pattern of violations caused by maritime mines planted by the Houthi militia. These mines pose a significant threat to the lives of fishermen and disrupt freedom of navigation in the Red Sea.
