Houthis Accuse Saudi Arabia of 26 Strikes in Yemen; Launch Offensive to Control Bab al-Mandab Strait

Houthis accused Saudi Arabia of launching 26 strikes in Yemen over 24 hours. The Houthis launched a rapid offensive to seize control of the Red Sea coast, including the strategic Bab al-Mandab strait. This marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.

Houthis claim Saudi Arabia conducted 26 strikes in Yemen within a 24-hour period, according to Middle East Eye. The Houthis, who already controlled most of Yemen’s populated areas, launched a lightning offensive to capture the entire Red Sea coast, securing control of the vital Bab al-Mandab strait. The the-hindu article does not specify the number of strikes but emphasizes the Houthis’ strategic offensive and territorial gains.

Where Sources Diverge

The middle-east-eye article reports the number of strikes (26) and the timeframe (24 hours), while the the-hindu article provides context about the Houthis' offensive and control over the Bab al-Mandab strait without specifying the number of strikes.
