More than 300 fighters killed in Yemen clashes over last 4 days

Intense clashes in Yemen have resulted in the deaths of more than 300 fighters over the past four days. The violence erupted after Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a campaign aimed at cutting off the port city of Mokha, which serves as a strategic point on the route to the Bab el-Mandeb strait. This offensive marks the deadliest fighting since the collapse of the 2022 truce in July. Reports indicate that the campaign is focused on gaining control over vital maritime corridors. The situation in the affected regions remains volatile as efforts to contain the escalation continue.
