Bab al-Mandab, Yemen ·

Government forces are reported to be close to taking full control of the positions still held by the Houthi movement on the Bab al-Mandab front. The signal tower is described as the most prominent of these positions, which the Houthis are holding onto.

Yemen's Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) controls Sanaa and much of the north, and has fought government forces since the civil war escalated in 2015.
