The Houthis are reportedly expanding their hold along Yemen’s western coast after claims of advances around Al Ardhi, Mocha and the Hanish Islands, raising fresh concerns over the Bab Al Mandeb shipping chokepoint. Conflicting reports claim the group has seized or could threaten the strategic waterway, as fighting pushes closer to Dhubab and Perim Island.
