Yemeni Forces Seize Bab el-Mandeb from Houthis in 'Dawn of Yemen' Op

Yemeni government forces claim control of the strategic Bab el-Mandeb strait from Houthi forces in a military operation dubbed 'Dawn of Yemen.' The claim is unverified and likely contested, as Houthi control of the strait has been a key factor in Red Sea shipping disruptions. If confirmed, this would mark a significant shift in the balance of power and could impact maritime security and global trade routes.
