Al Jazeera reports Houthi claim over Yemen’s Red Sea coast
Iran-aligned Houthi forces were reported to have taken control of part of Yemen’s Red Sea coast after a rapid offensive, with supporters celebrating the claimed advance.
Al Jazeera reported on 12 September that Iran-aligned Houthi forces had seized control of Yemen’s Red Sea coast in a rapid offensive.
The report said Houthi supporters celebrated after the claimed advance. It did not identify the locations involved or define the geographic scope of the reported seizure.
The supplied material provides no information about casualties, the forces involved or the timing of the offensive beyond the date of the report.
The territorial-control claim has not been independently confirmed in the supplied reporting. It therefore remains unclear whether the assertion refers to the entire coast or a more limited area.
The report adds to the security significance of the Houthis’ operations in Yemen, but the available information does not establish the extent or durability of the claimed control.
