The Zioneer Intelligence Desk released a detailed map of military control in Yemen, depicting the Houthis' expanded territorial hold after their advance toward the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The map follows the group's recent capture of Perim Island and the Kahbub area, granting them strategic observation over the Red Sea chokepoint.
The Zioneer Intelligence Desk has released a map illustrating the military control situation in Yemen following the Houthi movement's recent advance toward the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The map comes after The Zioneer reported earlier today that Houthi forces captured the strategic Kahbub area in Lahj governorate, as well as Perim Island, giving them high-ground observation over the strait.
The map visualizes the territorial gains described in that report, showing the expanded area under Houthi control along the Red Sea coast. The advance consolidates the Houthi hold on one of the world's busiest maritime chokepoints, threatening both international shipping and Israeli trade routes.
The Zioneer's map is based on a synthesis of open-source intelligence and local reporting, providing readers with a current overview of the battlefield landscape as Iran-backed proxies tighten their grip on the southern entrance to the Red Sea.
