In Yemen, Saudi forces have carried out airstrikes on the port city of Mokha, after Houthi fighters routed Yemeni government forces and seized control of Yemen’s entire Red Sea coastline and the strategic island of Perim. The group’s rapid advance has consolidated its power over the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a narrow maritime passageway through one of the world’s most important trade routes. The Houthis have said they won’t disrupt international shipping, but reiterated threats to attack vessels from Saudi Arabia.
