Houthi control of Mayun Island fails to disrupt Bab al-Mandab shipping

Al Jazeera's open-source analysis shows ship traffic through Bab al-Mandab remains unaffected despite Houthi control of Mayun Island at the strait's entrance. The data suggests the Houthis have not yet imposed a blockade, but the strategic positioning poses a latent threat to one of the world's key chokepoints. The situation is developing as the Houthis' next moves remain uncertain.
