Iran-backed Houthi forces reportedly seized Yemen’s strategic port city of Mocha and advanced toward positions overlooking the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The move comes as shipping through Hormuz remains severely constrained, raising the risk of further disruption to oil and commercial traffic. Yemeni government sources said the Houthis also reached the Hanish Islands as Saudi-backed forces withdrew south.

The Houthis have advanced to Yemen’s Mokha port and seized the strategically important Zuqar Island, according to a report. Satellite imagery shows the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a gateway to the Red Sea.

Yemen’s Houthi militia captured the port city of Mokha, raising fears that intensified fighting could push the country back into civil war. Near the Bab el-Mandeb strait, Mokha overlooks a key shipping route that has become an alternative to the disrupted Strait of Hormuz. The Houthis said navigation and trade remained safe, while accusing Saudi Arabia of strikes in Taiz province.

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.

Houthi forces seized the Yemeni port city of Mocha on Thursday in a major offensive against the Saudi-backed government. Hundreds of women and children fled toward Lahij and Aden. Mocha’s position near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait could give the Houthis leverage over a critical energy and trade route while severing anti-Houthi supply lines.

Yemen’s Houthis have taken the key Red Sea city of Mocha after internationally recognised government forces withdrew, expanding their control over the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. Analysts call the advance a significant blow to the government and warn it could threaten Saudi and international shipping.
The Iran-backed Houthis are seeking control of Yemen’s entire Red Sea coast, a move that would strengthen their leverage over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, one of the world’s busiest and most contested maritime chokepoints.

Iran-aligned Houthi militants seized Yemen’s port city of Mocha on Thursday, according to military sources. Four Yemeni government military sources said the group had gained more leverage over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and was attacking the strategic Hanish islands, adding to threats facing global energy supplies.

Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen are rapidly moving along the Red Sea coast, threatening to gain greater leverage over the crucial Bab el-Mandeb Strait, one of the world’s most important trade routes.

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.
The Houthis’ latest offensive aims to replicate Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz at Bab el-Mandeb. Red Sea coastal towns and islands in the strategic waterway are among their next military objectives.

Yemen’s renewed escalation is becoming a direct test of Saudi Arabia’s national security, economic resilience and ability to contain the regional war. Houthi missiles and drones have struck civilian and economic sites in Abha, Khamis Mushait, Jizan and Najran, while the group threatens Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb shipping. Riyadh must restore deterrence without returning to an open-ended Yemen war.

Yemen has formed a command centre after Houthi fighters breached front lines in the country’s west.

Iran-aligned Houthi forces seized the historic Yemeni port of Mocha on Thursday, according to four government military sources, strengthening their leverage over the vital Bab el-Mandeb shipping route. Fighting with Saudi-backed government forces has intensified, opening a second front in the Iran conflict and putting global energy supplies at risk.
