Good news from Yemen; Saudis caught off guard + video | Heights overlooking Bab al-Mandab fall into hands of Yemeni armed forces

Bab al-Mandab, Yemen ·

Yemen's armed forces freed several more areas around Bab al-Mandab in a wide-ranging operation.

Yemen has been divided by a long-running conflict between the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah), which controls Sanaa and much of the north, and forces of the internationally recognised government. The Bab al-Mandab strait links the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and is one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
