Iran live updates: Trump says US won't attack Iran again ahead of midterms

A military spokesperson for the Saudi-backed Yemeni Armed Forces claimed it has gained back control of the key area surrounding Red Sea waterway and the Bab Al Mandab.

The Houthis refute these claims and insist they have "forced them to retreat without making any gains."

This is a disputed conflict zone with a daily battle underway, it's hard to say who has actual control of the area, it is clear that there is an information war underway with both sides claiming to have control to this key geographic point.

Mocha (Al-Mukha) is an important entry point and strategic port city to the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a crucial maritime chokepoint connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and the Suez Canal.

Two Saudi Arabian airports in the cities of Jazan and Najran were targeted in ‌two overnight strikes Monday evening, injuring three people and causing material damage, the Saudi aviation authority said on Tuesday.

The attacks came after Saudi Arabia and its allies in Yemen’s internationally recognized government launched a military campaign to reclaim Houthi-controlled territory.

Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation said it was assessing the damage at the King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Airport and Najran International Airport and taking measures to ensure the safety of passengers and staff and the security of the kingdom's civil aviation system.

Saudi Arabia did not identify who was responsible for the attacks, but this follows a Houthi announcement of attacks on Saudi oil facilities, airports and military bases on Monday.
