Yemeni forces seize district near Bab el-Mandeb strait

Original: Yemeni government forces seize district by Bab el-Mandeb, military sources say

Yemeni government forces have taken control of a district near the Bab el-Mandeb strait, according to military sources. The narrow waterway is one of the world's most strategic shipping chokepoints, so any shift in control on the ground there draws close attention amid ongoing conflict in Yemen and regional tensions affecting Red Sea shipping.

Why now: Bab el-Mandeb is a critical global shipping route, so changes in territorial control nearby carry major strategic and trade implications.
