Houthis Take Control of Strategic Red Sea Port City

SIC Notícias10 September 2026 at 10:31

Iran-backed Houthi rebels have taken control of a strategic port city on the Red Sea. The military advances of these rebels represent a significant escalation in the conflict that has been devastating Yemen.

The bombings were carried out by a Saudi-led coalition that supports the Yemeni government. This military operation comes as a response to Houthi advances in Yemeni territory.

The conflict in Yemen pits Iran-backed Houthi rebels against government forces supported by Saudi Arabia and its allies. The port city controlled by the Houthis is strategically important due to its location on the Red Sea, a crucial maritime route for international trade.
