The Houthi militias have deployed heavy weapons, launchers and equipment in the vicinity and close to al-Sanabel Factory, which is directly off al-Hodeida seaport, west Yemen.

The Houthi militias intensified their armed attacks, violence and field developments on the ground in light of their failure to implement and to withdraw from al- Saleef and Ras Essa ports as a first step.

The Houthi militias have stepped up military fortifications and deployed containers filled with sand, concrete blocks around the Factory overlooking off the main strategic port of the Red Sea.

The pro-Iranian militias used areas close to the factory and the Yemeni Company for Mills and Silos (about 174,000 square meters) to store weapons and deploy pallets, launchers and military equipment, according to local sources.

Recently, sources reported the deployment of four Katyusha rocket launchers between the trees, north al-Sanabel factory, on the western side of al-Hodeida-Harad road.
