Yemen's Government Claims It Has Wrested Back the Red Sea Gateway
Yemen's Saudi-backed government says its forces now effectively control the Bab el-Mandeb Strait after seizing the Dhubab airstrip under heavy Saudi air cover. Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani made the claim to Reuters on Monday, though another government source said fighting continued at a nearby base. The Houthis dismissed the gains as untrue, while their fighters pressed forward near Taiz, leaving Yemen's third-largest city effectively surrounded.
