Things in Yemen are getting worse. There is a lot of new fighting between the Houthi group and the country's government.
Because of this violence, the port of Mocha has been forced to close. The people who run the port said they had to stop all operations for safety reasons. This is a big problem because the port is used to bring in supplies.
In a separate attack, a strike hit a part of the city where people live in Marib. Reports say that a Houthi attack on a different port city killed at least eight people. These attacks are happening even though there is supposed to be a truce, or an agreement to stop fighting, in place.
In other parts of the region, there has been more violence. In southwest Yemen, a drone strike hit Houthi fighters. The attack killed three fighters and hurt several of their leaders.
Right now, the situation is very tense. The Houthi group is clashing with Yemeni forces in several areas, making life very dangerous for the people living there.
