Yemen fighting intensifies as government forces retake key areas near Bab el-Mandeb

By GhanaSummary NewsroomPan-Africa

Forces loyal to Yemen’s internationally recognised government, backed by a Saudi-led coalition, have recaptured several key areas near the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait, Yemeni officials said Monday.

The government push came as part of a major offensive launched early Monday under air cover by a Saudi military coalition.

It comes as the Houthis claimed attacks on Saudi oil facilities, airports and military bases as fighting escalated on Yemen’s western coast.
