Houthis dig trenches and plant mines near Bab al-Mandab
Developments at the Bab al-Mandeb in Yemen and the Houthis' actions, including digging trenches and laying landmines in the maritime passage, are at the forefront. They are aiming to prevent the government forces supported by Saudi Arabia from regaining the areas they recently captured. These measures come amid intense fighting between the Houthis and the Yemeni government forces, with international bodies, including the Security Council, emphasizing the need to protect international navigation and supporting a peaceful resolution to the Yemeni crisis. The events occur against the backdrop of ongoing military escalation and international concern over the impact on global trade, especially given the Houthis' control over the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, one of the most vital maritime chokepoints.
