Yemeni government forces report gaining ground in a key offensive against Houthi rebels near the Bab al-Mandeb strait, a critical chokepoint linking the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. The military operation, described as a major push, comes as tensions in the region remain high following years of conflict. Control over the strait holds significant geopolitical importance due to its role in global maritime trade and shipping routes. The developments mark a potential shift in the balance of power in Yemen’s ongoing civil war.
