Houthis seize Hays, Al-Khawkhah; near full control of Al-Hudaydah province

Yemeni media report Houthi forces have captured Hays and Al-Khawkhah, potentially giving the group control over the entire Al-Hudaydah province. If confirmed, this marks a significant territorial shift in the Yemen conflict, threatening Red Sea coastal positions and complicating maritime security. The claim is based on Yemeni media reports and lacks independent corroboration.
