Government forces, after announcing a counter-offensive, said they had driven the Houthis from the Bab al-Mandab area and the port city of Mocha, which was captured last month.
Yemen’s Houthi movement denies reports that pro-government forces have advanced in western Yemen, saying it still controls positions seized during earlier fighting. Military spokesman Yahya Saria called the reports fabricated and said Houthi strikes had killed or wounded more than 200 government troops in recent hours.
Operation Yemen Dawn, supported by 100 Saudi coalition aircraft, retook Dhubab just north of the strait. The Houthis claimed they had hit Riyadh International Airport, an oil refinery and military bases across Saudi Arabia, while Pakistan and Turkey agreed to deploy troops to the kingdom.
Yemeni forces have retaken a key Red Sea port city from the Iran-backed Houthis in a major counteroffensive. Oil markets remain tense over possible Middle East supply disruptions, with Brent near $100 a barrel as the risk of further escalation persists.
Yemen’s internationally recognised government says its forces, backed by Saudi air power, have retaken Mocha and strategic positions near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait from the Houthis. The Houthis reject the reported gains and claim attacks on Saudi airports, oil infrastructure and military sites. Mocha’s fate could shape the next phase of the fighting.

Russian authorities deny imposing anti-plague measures after a laboratory technician in the Irkutsk region died from suspected pneumonic plague.

The World Health Organization says Russian authorities reported that no plague cases had been found among people who had contact with a laboratory worker from a Siberian plague institute who died last week.
Russia’s health watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor, says no plague was detected after a laboratory worker in Siberia died.
Russian officials are facing growing questions after a 28-year-old researcher mysteriously died at a Siberian laboratory that studies plagues. U.S. health officials are urging Russia to provide more information and prevent a possible outbreak.

Dozens of people have been quarantined in Siberia after a laboratory worker at a research institute fell ill and died under undisclosed circumstances. The case is suspected to involve plague, and details about the death remain unclear.
The World Health Organization says it has found no sign of a wider outbreak since Darya Shipilova, a laboratory technician at a plague research institute in Siberia, died last week. Russian officials are investigating whether viral pneumonic plague caused her death. WHO rates the risk as moderate to low in Irkutsk, low elsewhere in Russia and very low in Europe.
Russian authorities told the World Health Organization on Tuesday that no plague cases had been identified in the Siberian city of Irkutsk, where a laboratory worker at a plague research institute died last week, a spokesperson for the UN health agency said.
