Huthi anunță că au cucerit portul strategic Mokha. Rebelii ajung la 75 km de Bab al-Mandab, arteră vitală pentru comerțul cu Europa

The conflict in Yemen escalates as Houthi rebels seize the strategic port city of Mokha, raising concerns over maritime security and oil transport. The takeover, following intense fighting, has led to chaos in the city, with many residents fleeing towards Aden. The Houthis claim their actions do not threaten international navigation, yet they maintain an embargo on Saudi vessels. This development comes amid heightened tensions in the region, affecting global oil prices and shipping routes, particularly as the Strait of Hormuz faces disruptions due to ongoing conflicts. The capture of Mokha and nearby Zuqar island could further complicate the situation in the Red Sea, a vital trade route.
