Yemen's army hits Houthi vehicles in Dhubab and Mocha

Yemeni government army forces struck Houthi military vehicles in the coastal areas of Dhubab and Mocha, part of continuing clashes over control of the Bab al-Mandeb strait corridor between Saudi-backed forces and Houthi fighters.

Why this matters. Continued fighting for control of the Red Sea coast near Bab al-Mandeb threatens shipping traffic through a second regional chokepoint at the same time Hormuz transit is already disrupted, compounding risk to global energy and cargo routes.
