Houthi territorial advance consolidates Red Sea disruption capability
Al Jazeera·YE·about 7 hours ago
Hussite forces have captured Majún Island in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, consolidating control over the southern Red Sea approach and a key oil transit chokepoint. The move escalates their ability to interdict shipping, though the source is a single Slovak outlet and details of the operation remain unconfirmed. This directly threatens global energy supply routes, raising the risk of further disruption to tanker traffic.
