Forces aligned with Yemen's internationally recognized government, with backing from the Saudi-led coalition, have achieved significant territorial gains in the ongoing conflict. Key strategic locations around the vital Bab al-Mandab Strait have been recaptured from the Houthi rebels.
Among the recaptured areas are the crucial town of Dhubab, situated north of the strait, and the towns of Bab and Hadeid. Additionally, Yemeni forces have successfully retaken the Red Sea port city of Mokha. These advances represent a substantial push by government troops to regain control over critical maritime and land routes, impacting the ongoing war.
