What happened

Well supportedReported by 18 independent outlets

Houthi forces captured territory in south-western Yemen, including the town of Turbah, which connects Taiz and the port of Aden. Previously, the Houthis controlled Mokha and several Red Sea islands, allowing them to control the Yemeni side of the Bab al-Mandab Strait. However, forces loyal to the internationally recognized government, backed by Saudi Arabia, have since regained control of Mokha and Mayyun Island.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Houthis are identified as an increasing threat to global shipping, particularly through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a chokepoint through which about 12 per cent of global trade passes. The conflict is part of a wider regional tension involving Saudi Arabia.

The civil conflict in Yemen sees Houthis controlling Sanaa while a government operates in Aden, escalating regional tensions.
