Houthis advance along Yemeni coast, threaten Saudi oil exports in Red Sea
Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported49m ago
On Thursday, Iran-aligned Houthi forces seized control of Yemen's port city of Mocha and advanced southward along the Red Sea coast toward strategic islands, according to military sources. The territorial gains allow the Houthis to further close in on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
The strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait serves as the southern outlet of the Red Sea and represents a critical global shipping route. This movement along the coast provides the Houthi forces with increased leverage over the vital waterway and directly threatens Saudi oil exports moving through the region.
