Yemen govt forces withdraw from Red Sea strait in setback

Government forces loyal to Yemen’s internationally recognised administration announced a significant withdrawal from Djibouti airport and positions near the Bab al-Mandeb strait, a key Red Sea shipping passage. The pullback, described by the forces as a strategic repositioning to defend the temporary capital Aden, represents a setback in the Saudi-backed campaign against Houthi militants. Multiple Israeli sources reported the development as a blow to anti-Houthi operations in the region.
