Houthis near Bab al-Mandab
The control of the Yemeni city of Mokha by the Houthis represents a significant territorial development that enhances their influence on the western coast and brings them closer to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, one of the world’s most vital maritime passages. Military sources have reported that the Houthis are pushing toward areas near the strait, amid escalating clashes with government forces backed by Saudi Arabia, particularly around Dhabab. This development comes amid a broader escalation of military activity in Yemen, including Houthi attacks on targets within Saudi Arabia, which increases the risks to international shipping lanes and oil supplies—especially as the Brent crude price exceeds $100 per barrel.
