Yemeni government forces announced that the Houthi rebel group has captured the strategic port city of Mokha on the Red Sea coast. This development comes as government troops continue their offensive against the Houthis in the north. Mokha is considered a critical choke point on the Red Sea, situated near the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a vital waterway for global shipping.
The city's location on the southern coast of Yemen, where the coastline sharply curves, forces all vessels entering the Red Sea into a narrow channel. Mokha lies west of this narrow passage, making it a prime location for potential attacks. Experts note that the city's ancient port is ideally suited for launching 'low-signature' attacks, such as using suicide drones or low-flying unmanned aerial vehicles, which are part of the Houthi arsenal.
