Yemeni government forces seize strategic strait from Houthis
Government forces said they seized key coastal positions as the Houthis retreated, while Saudi strikes hit hundreds of targets to support the offensive.
- On Monday, Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces launched a "decisive military operation," advancing along the coast near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and pushing Iran-backed Houthis toward the city of Mocha.
- President Rashad al-Alimi swore on Sunday to fight "until the country is liberated from the grip of the terrorist militia," as the offensive aims to end the coup and restore state institutions seized by the Houthis.
- The military spokesperson reported operations killed at least 1,747 Houthi members and destroyed 364 military assets; meanwhile, the UN migration agency said Monday that 184,000 people have been displaced since the war resumed.
- Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan agreed Monday to rapidly deploy military forces under the "Mecca Joint Defence Agreement," strengthening collective deterrence after the Houthis attempted to target Mecca and Medina.
- Heavy fighting continues in the southwest, where Houthi forces have surrounded Taiz, leaving the city's population of over half a million under siege and worsening the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, the Arab region's poorest state.
