Clashes Persist in Bab el-Mandeb
The Saudi-led coalition launched a large-scale operation against the Houthis in the strategic Bab al-Mandab region after intensified fierce clashes resulted in the death of 63 people over the past 24 hours, including 35 members of government forces and 28 Houthis. The fighting led to the destruction of 136 military targets and advances by government forces in the area, despite the Houthis' continued control of Meiyon Island. These developments follow a slight expansion by the Houthis in September, when they took control of the western coast along the Red Sea, increasing the strategic importance of the strait, which is a vital passage for oil exports, especially amid Iran's restrictions on navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
