Yemen’s Houthis have taken control of the strategically important Red Sea port city of Mokha, according to a Yemeni military source speaking with AFP. This seizure represents a significant gain for the Iran-backed group in the ongoing conflict within Yemen. The capture of Mokha, a key port city on the Red Sea, potentially disrupts vital shipping lanes and aid deliveries. This development raises concerns about escalating tensions and further instability in the region. The Yemeni military source did not specify the extent of fighting or potential casualties resulting from the capture of Mokha. This action underscores the Houthis’ continued efforts to expand their influence throughout Yemen. The news was originally reported by Iraqi News.
