Fights at the Red Sea in Yemen

113

New fights start in Yemen. Government troops attack the Huthi rebels. The fights happen in the Dhubab district. This place is at the Bab al-Mandab sea strait.

The sea strait is very important for ships. It connects the Mediterranean Sea with Asia. Many ships bring oil from Saudi Arabia there. Whoever controls this place has much power over trade.

The government troops want to take back areas. They say they take first goals now. The Huthi rebels say this is false. Saudi Arabia helps the government with weapons and planes.

Iran supports the Huthis. They win many areas at the coast. Now attacks with rockets and drones happen. Many people must flee because of the fights.
