Red Sea Frontline: Yemen clashes kill at least 60 as Houthis press westward
TL;DR Summary
Clashes between Yemen's government forces and the Iran-aligned Houthis killed at least 60 people, including civilians, as the Houthis pressed along the western Taiz and southern Hodeidah fronts near the Red Sea. The fighting raises the specter of disrupted shipping through Bab al-Mandeb, a crucial maritime chokepoint for global trade, amid a long-running war and a collapsed truce. The toll includes 26 government troops, 31 Houthi fighters, and six civilians in Taiz, with ongoing fighting and a worsening humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
