Houthis near Bab el-Mandeb control
The Houthis, supported by Iran, are advancing towards the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait after seizing the city of Mokha and Zuqir Island in the Red Sea, following a week of fierce clashes with government forces backed by Saudi Arabia. A military official reported that the Houthis are pushing toward Bab al-Mandab after taking control of Mokha. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia launched around 40 airstrikes on Yemeni provinces, amidst ongoing clashes in Taiz and Hodeidah. The confrontations have resulted in the deaths of over 500 people, and since the recent escalation began in Yemen, approximately 20,000 people have been displaced. The conflict has also led to a severe humanitarian crisis affecting about two-thirds of the population, according to the United Nations.
