Yemeni forces secure Bab al-Mandab
The Yemeni forces announced that they have regained control of the Bab al-Mandab Strait after liberating the Zubayr District, which overlooks it. This comes as part of a broad military operation called "Fajr Yemen" aimed at combating the Houthis. The district is of strategic and economic importance because it serves as Yemen's main land gateway to the strait, which connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea, making it one of the world's most vital maritime passages. The forces managed to seize strategic positions and cut off Houthi supply lines, with casualties and injuries reported among their ranks. Meanwhile, Houthi agencies denied any progress had been made. These developments come amid an escalation of military activity that has been intensifying since July, following a period of relative calm. They follow the Houthis' control of key areas in September, in the ongoing conflict that has been ongoing since the Houthis took control of Sana'a in 2014 and with the intervention of the coalition supporting the Yemeni government in 2015.
