Yemeni Information Ministry to 'Al-Mamlaka': Bab al-Mandab cleared of Houthis, 'Fajr Yemen' battle continues

Bab al-Mandab, Yemen ·

Information ministry adviser Faisal al-Awadhi announced on Sunday that the Bab al-Mandab area had been cleared of the Houthi militia, and said the strait no longer posed a threat to international navigation from the group.

Yemen's Houthi movement (Ansar Allah) controls Sanaa and much of the north, while the internationally recognised government holds other areas. The Bab al-Mandab strait links the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden and is a major international shipping route.
