Saudi-backed Yemeni Armed Forces released video on September 12 demonstrating what they stated were strikes targeting Houthi forces in Mocha, a port city on the Red Sea. The reported strikes occurred as Houthi forces were advancing south along Yemen’s Red Sea coast.
This advance included an alleged seizure of Perim island, which is situated in the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The forces released the video as part of their claims regarding the strikes.
