Houthis reportedly seize Yemen's strategic Red Sea port of Mokha
Multiple headlines indicate that Iran-backed Houthi forces have taken Mokha and are pushing along Yemen's Red Sea coast toward the Bab el-Mandeb. The reported advance places a key maritime corridor and nearby energy flows at heightened risk.
Control or presence at Mokha could enable attacks or disruption near a vital global shipping chokepoint, raising regional escalation and supply risks.
