Yemeni Forces Reclaim Coastline Near Strategic Strait

Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces have recaptured coastal areas along the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, advancing as far as the city of Mocha and expelling Iran-backed Houthi forces from territories seized last month. The strategic waterway is a key chokepoint for global shipping. The offensive marks a significant territorial gain for the Yemeni government forces in their ongoing conflict with the Houthi movement.
