Yemen govt forces advance in Taiz, Mokha, Bab el-Mandeb as coalition air campaign intensifies

Yemeni government forces report territorial gains in Taiz, Mokha, and near the Bab el-Mandeb strait, supported by an intensified Saudi-led coalition air campaign. The advances, if confirmed, would mark a shift in momentum against Houthi forces in a strategically vital area. Control of Bab el-Mandeb is critical for global shipping, making this a potential flashpoint for maritime security.

Yemeni Forces Retake Mokha, Red Sea Waterway Control Claimed

Saudi-backed Yemeni forces have reportedly recaptured the port city of Mokha from Houthi forces, marking a significant territorial gain along the Red Sea coast. While the retaking of Mokha is widely claimed, the assertion of securing the Red Sea waterway remains unverified and likely overstated given persistent Houthi naval capabilities. The full extent of territorial control and the operational impact on maritime security are still emerging.
