Urgent | Fierce clashes break out on the edges of the strategic Kahbub mountains near Bab al-Mandab

Bab al-Mandab, Yemen ·

Field military sources reported violent clashes on the edges of the Kahbub mountain range, in the western coastal area near the Bab al-Mandab strait, amid what the sources describe as a military escalation.

Yemen has been locked in a civil war since 2014 between the internationally recognised government, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, and the Houthi movement (Ansar Allah), which controls Sanaa and much of the north. The Bab al-Mandab strait links the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden.
