Saudi-backed forces strike hard at Houthi positions near Red Sea

Yemeni government forces said their air force struck Houthi vehicles, weapons, and concentrations around Mocha and along the Mocha-Dhubab road. The forces are backed by a Saudi-led coalition, but the available reporting attributes these particular strikes to the Yemeni Air Force rather than Saudi aircraft. The claims, including reported Houthi losses, were not independently verified, and the fighting occurred near the Bab al-Mandab shipping route following recent Houthi advances along the Red Sea coast.
