> Military sources say Yemen’s Houthi movement has taken the Red Sea port city of Mokha from Saudi-backed pro-government forces. The capture would move the Iran-backed group closer to control of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, while the offensive has reportedly killed hundreds and displaced thousands in the past week.
