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.
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.
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.
This incident highlights the ongoing dangers faced by local fishermen in conflict zones. The international community must address the risks posed by such remnants of war to ensure the safety of maritime activities in the region.
