Houthis seize Kahoub mountains overlooking Bab al-Mandab

The Houthis have taken control of the Kahboub Mountain range overlooking the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a strategically vital area for the position of the strait and the surrounding coasts. This move is part of their attempt to encircle and besiege the city of Taiz. They have completed their control over the Bab al-Mandab area and the Miun Island region following a widespread offensive that resulted in significant territorial gains, according to Yemeni sources. Additionally, they seized strategic islands, including Zukur and the Greater and Lesser Hanish Islands, and are besieging government forces on these islands, demanding their surrender. Efforts are underway to provide aerial support to rescue the besieged forces. Controlling these regions marks an important step for the Houthis to strengthen their influence over the strait, which sees a large portion of international trade pass through it, amid ongoing clashes and rising tensions in the area.
