Houthis, a group in Yemen, are said to have taken Mokha port. Mokha is a port city on the Red Sea. The group is Iran-backed. This port is important for ships. It is near a key sea route. That route is called the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Many boats pass there to travel between seas. If the Houthis control Mokha, they may get closer to controlling this waterway. This could affect trade and travel in the region.
