Coalition actions in Yemen

Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Malki, spokesperson for the Saudi-led coalition, said that the allies are providing round-the-clock air support to Yemeni forces on the ground and covering the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. According to him, operations against mobile targets are also continuing.

According to the outlet, Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces have taken control of the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Dubab area and the port city of Mocha.
