Rebels have seized control of the historic Yemeni port of Mocha, marking a significant advance in their push southward. The capture of the key coastal city brings them closer to the strategically vital Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a critical chokepoint for global shipping. The development underscores the shifting dynamics of the conflict in Yemen, where control over key maritime routes remains a major strategic prize. The move could have broader implications for regional security and trade flows in the Red Sea.
