Yemeni pro-government forces say they have recaptured Mokha and secured the Bab al-Mandab Strait after launching a Saudi-backed offensive against Houthi fighters. The military said it seized the port city with Saudi air support, but government sources later told Reuters and AFP that troops had reached only its outskirts. The Houthis denied losing either Mokha or the strategic waterway and claimed retaliatory attacks on Saudi targets. The conflicting accounts highlight uncertainty over control of the vital shipping route and coastline.
