Heads up, fam! ⚠️ Early Tuesday, December 30, 2025, the Saudi-led coalition launched limited airstrikes on the port of Mukalla in Yemen's southeastern Hadhramaut province. 📍
The coalition – a group of nations led by Saudi Arabia – says these were targeted operations on specific port facilities. The Saudi Press Agency confirmed the strikes focused on strategic points, aiming to minimize collateral harm. ✈️
Local authorities and Saudi-owned Al Arabiya TV have urged:
- Residents and civilians
- Armed personnel
- Fishermen working nearby
to evacuate the port "until further notice."
Think of it like an urgent cyclone evacuation in the Bay of Bengal – rapid action can save lives. 🌊 For our South and Southeast Asia readers, you know the drill.
Mukalla port is a key hub for local trade and fishing. Disruptions could slow imports of essentials like food and fuel. Humanitarian groups are on standby to assist families needing shelter and aid. 🤝
Stay safe, stay informed, and share this alert with anyone heading to Mukalla. We'll keep you posted as more details come in. 🔔
