Yemen’s Houthis seize port city Mocha, closing in on control of Bab el-Mandeb Strait
- On Thursday, the Iranian-backed Houthis took control of Mocha, a Yemeni port city less than 50 miles from the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, according to anti-Houthi government officials.
- The Bab al-Mandeb Strait serves as a vital global chokepoint for crude oil and fuel shipments between the Gulf and the Mediterranean, providing the Houthis significant leverage over international trade.
- Tareq Saleh's National Resistance Front reported clashes with Houthi naval forces in Mocha, stating "Force reorganization and consolidation are underway in coordination with the anti-Houthi coalition."
- The Saudi-led coalition reported at least 73 people were wounded in four southern Saudi cities during recent Houthi attacks continuing on Wednesday against national assets and infrastructure.
- Fighting threatens to derail the fragile 2022 U.N.-brokered truce, while Saudi civil defence authorities issued an all-clear on Thursday following an emergency alert in Khamis Mushait.
