Middle East 1 source 1 country 🔦 Under-reported 7m ago

Houthi rebels have seized control of the Dhubab district on Yemen's southwestern coast, near the Bab el-Mandeb strait. Following this territorial gain, the group advanced toward the strategic island of Mayun, also known as Perim, which serves as a key access point between the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. Local officials confirmed on Friday that the rebels have established control over the area.

The movement toward Mayun represents a significant tactical development in the ongoing conflict. By securing positions near the Bab el-Mandeb strait, the Houthi forces have gained influence over a critical maritime chokepoint that facilitates international shipping and regional access to the Red Sea.
