Houthis Take Control of Bab al-Mandab
The Houthis took control of Me'on Island, located in the strategically important Bab el Mandeb Strait, following the withdrawal of government forces and their redeployment to the island. This move strengthens their dominance over the area, which holds great significance due to its extension into the Red Sea and its proximity to international shipping routes. A government official confirmed that Houthi fighters arrived on the island by boat and spread along the shoreline, possessing military vehicles. Meanwhile, Yemen's forces announced the start of an armed operation against Houthi movements in the city of Al-Mokha and its surroundings. The region is experiencing escalating military tension, with growing concerns over its impact on Red Sea security and international navigation freedom.
