Houthi seizure of Al-Mokha and Bab al-Mandeb control

Overview

The Houthi offensive has intensified, with the group seizing thousands of square kilometers along the Red Sea coast and securing strategic islands, tightening their grip on the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. In a major military shift, Ansarullah forces seized control of the strategic coastal city of Al-Mokha, granting them command over the Bab al-Mandeb strait. This waterway serves as a critical alternative to the Strait of Hormuz and accounts for approximately 12% of global trade.

Addressing the 81st United Nations General Assembly, Yemen’s Vice President of the Presidential Leadership Council, Abdullah Al-Alimi Bawazir, warned that Houthi activities pose a significant threat to the global economy. He stated the group is using maritime navigation as a ‘tool for blackmail,’ effectively taking the global economy hostage. Bawazir accused the Houthis of using humanitarian pauses to strengthen their military arsenal and urged the international community to prevent further Iranian technology transfers to the rebels.

Recent military developments show Houthi forces pushing toward the Kahboub Mountains in Taiz and Lahj to consolidate control over high ground overlooking the strait. While the group has captured key islands including Perim, Mayun, and the Hanish Islands, recent attempts to expand their territory have met resistance. In the Lahj Governorate, Al-Amaliqa Forces and the Second Shield of the Nation Brigade, supported by local Al-Sabihah tribes, reportedly repelled large-scale Houthi assaults in the Al-Muhawala and Al-Aghbara districts. These clashes resulted in significant Houthi casualties, with military officials stating that defensive lines remained intact following airstrikes on rebel positions.
