Yemen’s Houthi rebels claim to have seized the key port of Mocha as they push to control the country’s Red Sea coast. The advance has intensified fighting with the Saudi-backed government and could bring Iran and its proxies closer to control of the Bab al-Mandeb and Hormuz shipping chokepoints. Saudi Arabia has launched repeated airstrikes on Houthi targets.
