Houthi forces seize strategic Yemeni port, Saudi intervention questioned

Houthi fighters captured the port of Al-Mocha in Yemen within two days and advanced southward toward the Bab al-Mandab strait, a critical shipping route. Officials from Yemen’s legitimate government expressed frustration with unfulfilled promises of US air support from Saudi Arabia, saying they appealed for assistance that never materialised. The seizure gives the Iranian-backed group strategic control without requiring advanced weaponry for maritime attacks.
