Houthis seize strategic Red Sea port of Mokha amid renewed Yemen fighting

Houthi forces have taken control of Mokha, a key Red Sea port, amid intensified fighting that raises fears of a return to full-scale civil war in Yemen. The port's loss threatens a vital alternative shipping route to the Strait of Hormuz, which has gained importance due to the US-Iran conflict. The development marks a significant territorial shift and could disrupt maritime traffic and regional stability.
