Houthi bid to seize gateway to Red Sea leaves 120 dead

A major offensive by Yemen's Houthis to seize control of the gateway to the Red Sea, the Bab al-Mandab strait, has left more than 120 people dead. Fighting erupted on Thursday with ground assaults, rocket, and drone attacks near coastal areas, aiming to cut off the government-held port city of Mokha and tighten control over the strategic shipping lane.
