Renewed Yemen Conflict Displaces Thousands Amid Houthi Advances and Saudi Strikes
Renewed fighting in Yemen has intensified as Iran-backed Houthi forces seized key towns along the Red Sea coast, including the strategic port city of Mocha, displacing nearly 50,000 civilians. Yemeni government forces, supported by Saudi Arabia, have launched counterattacks targeting Houthi positions. The Houthis also claimed drone and missile strikes on a Saudi military base in southern Saudi Arabia. The conflict has raised concerns over control of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a vital maritime route, and increased regional tensions amid calls for international attention.
