Houthis Advance in Yemen, Capture Mocha Port Amid Ongoing Clashes with Government Forces
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi forces have advanced along the Red Sea coast, capturing Mocha port and expanding near the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a vital global trade route. This offensive has intensified fighting with Saudi-backed government forces, particularly around Taiz and Lahij. Government forces recently repelled Houthi attacks on the key Taiz-Aden supply route. The escalation has prompted calls for international support and military coordination among Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan amid concerns over regional stability.
