Houthi forces have captured more Yemeni Red Sea islands, tightening their strategic grip on the Bab el-Mandeb strait, Euronews reports. The fall of the Hanish archipelago occurred after hundreds of government-allied forces withdrew from the area.
This latest territorial gain adds to existing Houthi control over Mokha and Perim Island. Two weeks of ongoing fighting have resulted in the displacement of more than 80,000 people.
Despite the setbacks and the loss of territory, the internationally recognised government has vowed to regroup in response to the advance.
