Houthis are pushing towards the strategically vital Bab al-Mandab Strait, raising fresh concerns over the security of the Red Sea and one of the world's most important maritime trade routes. Recent fighting between Yemen's Houthi forces and Saudi-backed government forces has intensified, with the initial reported death toll of 81 later rising to more than 120 according to subsequent AFP-based reports.
In this video, we explain why the Houthis are targeting areas around Bab al-Mandab, the strategic importance of the Red Sea chokepoint, the role of Yemen's port city of Mokha, and how control of elevated positions near the strait could increase the threat to maritime traffic. The Houthis' push comes amid wider instability involving the Iran conflict, Strait of Hormuz disruptions, Saudi Arabia and Red Sea shipping.
The Bab al-Mandab Strait connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden and forms an important part of the maritime route linking the Indian Ocean with the Suez Canal and Europe. Any prolonged disruption can force ships to take longer routes around the Cape of Good Hope, increasing voyage times, freight costs and supply-chain pressures.
The issue is particularly important for UPSC Prelims and Mains, especially International Relations, World Geography, Maritime Security, West Asia, Global Trade, Energy Security and Current Affairs. UPSC preparation sources have also been highlighting Bab al-Mandab as a map-based and geopolitical topic.
