Reports say the Iran-backed Houthis have captured Yemen’s entire Red Sea coast, including the last coastal towns held by forces loyal to the internationally recognised government. Government sources and witnesses said fighters also reached Mayyun Island and took control of the Bab al-Mandeb area, though the Houthi government has not officially confirmed it. The advance gives the group leverage over a major alternative route to the Strait of Hormuz.
Russian newspapers report that Ukraine is seeking money and weapons from donors outside the EU as doubts grow over Canada’s room for more aid. In Yemen, the Houthis reportedly routed Saudi-backed forces near Mokha, strengthening their control over shipping south of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Europe is also warned to prepare for gas prices above $1,000 for a prolonged period.
By taking control of Perim Island in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, Yemen’s Houthis could tighten their grip on one of the world’s vital shipping routes and heighten threats to energy markets as the Middle East war widens.
The Houthis have taken a strategically important Yemeni port city as Iran seeks to establish a new position along the Red Sea coast. The advance heightens risks for shipping near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which links the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden with global markets.
