Yemen Houthis at Bab al-Mandab
The Houthis have taken control of the city of Moka and reached the Bab al-Mandab Strait, one of the world’s most vital maritime passages, after they arrived on Brem Island in the strait. The escalation in fighting has resulted in the death of 500 people and the displacement of 20,000 others over the course of a week, amidst intensifying Saudi-led airstrikes and Houthi statements reassuring the safety of navigation. The United States rejected a Saudi request for intervention in Yemen, while warnings continue about the escalation of the conflict and its impact on regional and international security.
