Yemen's Houthis Reportedly Seize Strategic Red Sea Island
The Houthi rebels in Yemen have reportedly seized the island of Zuqer in the southern Red Sea, according to a report by the French news agency AFP. The takeover is said to have been accomplished through a combination of rocket fire and a ground force that arrived by boat.
At this time, the report has not been officially confirmed, and further verification of the details is required. The island's strategic location in the Red Sea could have implications for regional maritime security.
