New headache for MBS: What really happened near Yemen’s coast? Video emerges amid Houthi attacks

Yemen’s Houthis have released footage of damaged and burnt Saudi-backed vehicles as fighting intensifies around the strategic Bab al-Mandab area. According to AP, Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV showed fighters deployed across Dhubab after recent territorial gains along Yemen’s Red Sea coast. Government forces have now struck back, reporting attacks on Houthi vehicles, weapons and units near Mocha. Al Jazeera reports more than 500 people have been killed since the Houthi offensive began last week. With fighting approaching one of the world’s most important shipping routes, could the Houthis’ advance become MBS’ next major Red Sea nightmare?
