Summary
The Saudi-supported Yemeni military and the Iran-aligned Houthi movement have reignited their conflict for control over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Following a Houthi seizure of the port city of Mocha in September, Yemeni forces launched a counteroffensive to regain control of the area. The escalation has involved missile strikes and targeted attacks affecting locations including Mocha, Hodeidah, Perim, and Sana'a International Airport. Yemeni forces have deployed fighter jets to secure the vital maritime route, which remains a critical corridor for international commerce. The ongoing hostilities have forced more than 200,000 people to flee their homes.
