Houthi advance on Bab al-Mandab reshapes security equation around Aden

Houthi forces have advanced into Dhubab and Mayun Island near Bab al-Mandab, bringing their controlled areas closer to Lahij's coast and directly threatening Aden's security. This marks a significant territorial gain that could disrupt Red Sea shipping lanes and alter the balance of power in the region. The full extent of the advance and its immediate impact on Aden remain uncertain.
