Why Houthi control of Mocha matters for Red Sea security

The Houthi seizure of the port city of Mokha in Yemen could have major implications for maritime security in the Red Sea.

Al Jazeera anchor speaks with analyst Rashid Al Mohannadi about the tactical significance of Mocha, the capabilities of Yemen’s government forces and the possibility of a counter-offensive with Saudi support.

Al Mohannadi says the situation remains fluid, with the next 48 to 72 hours potentially critical as government forces assess whether they can regain control. He also discusses the use of drones and a refurbished air force by government troops.

The discussion comes amid recent Houthi attacks on civilian areas in Saudi Arabia, which could lead to further Saudi intervention. Al Mohannadi expects continued fighting before diplomatic efforts or a ceasefire can be reconsidered.
