Jump to 0:00

Houthi forces are moving southward through Yemen, making significant gains along the Red Sea coastline. They are advancing into territory previously held by the internationally recognized government.

This shift in control on the Yemeni coast indicates potential regional and international consequences, extending beyond the immediate conflict zone.

Houthi forces have taken control of crucial coastal locations, including the port city of Mocha and the town of Dhubab. Yemeni government officials have confirmed their control of Perim Island, also known as Mayun, which is positioned directly inside the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait.

These territorial acquisitions place Houthi forces in close proximity to the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, a critical international shipping chokepoint, thus increasing the strategic stakes of the ongoing conflict.
