— Fierce clashes in Yemen as Houthis push toward Bab al-Mandab
The Houthis are trying to advance and seize the closest point to the Bab al-Mandab strait, currently held by Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces. If they take it, they could fully control the narrow strait without needing radar, cutting off another supply line to opponents of the Iranian axis. The battle is intense, with the Houthis fighting more fiercely than in Hodeidah, and they have already cut several roads supplying ammunition and provisions to those cities.@TPOnow
