Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces have seized key positions and established effective control over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, according to Yemen's Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani and military sources. The military operation, which involved rapid advances along the coast supported by heavy Saudi air power, was launched to reverse earlier Houthi advances and clear the vital waterway.
