Houthis Seize Strategic Yemeni Port of Mocha, UN Warns of Wider Middle East Conflict

Houthi militants have seized control of the strategic Yemeni port city of Mocha on the Red Sea coast, a development that the UN Special Envoy has warned could draw Yemen into a broader Middle East conflict. This escalation imperils global trade routes and threatens to exacerbate the humanitarian crisis in the region. The UN Security Council is meeting to discuss these developments.
