Houthis seize key Yemeni port of Mocha in drive to take control of Red Sea coast胡塞武装占领也门重要港口摩卡，企图控制红海沿岸
Baraa Shiban, the Royal United Services Institute’s (Rusi) Yemen specialist, a London-based security thinktank, said the situation in the country was spiralling out of control, adding that the UN-recognised Yemeni government was opening new fronts against the Houthis in the hope of putting more pressure on their forces than they could withstand. But in the past 48 hours the Houthis had major advances south, down Yemen’s west coast, taking them closer to the high ground overlooking the narrow Bab al-Mandab strait.

总部位于伦敦的安全智库皇家联合军种研究所（RUSI）的也门问题专家巴拉·希班表示，也门局势正在迅速失控。他还补充说，联合国承认的也门政府正在开辟新的战线，试图给胡塞武装施加更大的压力，使其难以承受。但在过去48小时内，胡塞武装向南推进，沿着也门西海岸一路南下，逼近了俯瞰狭窄的曼德海峡的高地。
