Yemen clashes kill 80+ in two days as Houthis press Bab el Mandeb

Fighting between Yemeni government forces and Houthi rebels has killed over 80 fighters since Thursday, with the Houthis intensifying attacks after the July truce collapse. The clashes center on strategic areas near the Bab el Mandeb strait, a critical chokepoint for global shipping. The escalation signals a renewed push by the Houthis to expand territorial control, with potential implications for maritime security.
