Yemeni forces push Houthis out of Bab el-Mandeb Strait
Original: Yemeni government forces drive Houthis from Bab el-Mandeb Strait
Yemeni government forces have driven Houthi fighters from positions along the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, according to a Reuters report. The strategic waterway is one of the world's busiest shipping corridors, linking the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden. The development could ease pressure on international maritime traffic that has faced repeated Houthi attacks.
Why now: The strait is a critical global shipping route, so any shift in control there has immediate implications for maritime security and trade.
