Houthi rebels took control of a strategic port city located on the Red Sea. This is a significant military advance in the context of the conflict in Yemen.
The territorial gains by the Houthis, who are supported by Iran, occurred following bombings carried out by an international coalition. This coalition is led by Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi-led coalition formally supports Yemen's legitimate government in its fight against the Houthi rebels. The conflict between the two parties has been ongoing for several years.
