HODEIDAH (Debriefer)--A Yemeni fisherman was killed after his boat struck a naval mine in the Red Sea on Saturday.
Fishing was the only source of income for Yahya Salim Bakr and his family which includes 5 children, according to sources close to the family.
Like usual, my husband went fishing early in the day but no one expected it would be his last fishing trip, his wife said, according to the Khabar news agency.
The family lives in the district of Al-Durahimi in Yemen's western province of Hodeidah.
The government and a Saudi-led coalition supporting it are accusing the Houthi group of laying sea mines in the Red Sea, threatening fishermen and commercial shipping.
