WHAT HAPPENED
Multiple reports claim Houthi forces have reached or seized Perim Island, a strategic position in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, while Saudi airstrikes hit the rebel-held Mokha airport. The territorial claim is not independently confirmed in the supplied information.
SO WHAT?
Reported Houthi control of Perim would significantly strengthen control over a vital Red Sea chokepoint and raise risks to international shipping and regional escalation.
