Yemeni government forces say they have 'secured' Bab al-Mandab Strait
Houthi-run media deny the government has made advances in the Dhubab area, which overlooks the strategic Red Sea waterway.
Associated Press
What the coverage shows
The outlets all focus on fighting around the Bab el-Mandeb area and Yemeni government or Saudi-backed forces pushing against the Houthis. Al Jazeera alone says forces reclaim Dhubab and key positions, while The Independent uniquely frames the story as Saudi-backed forces seizing the strait. Axios emphasizes a counteroffensive and quotes the presidential council head, and the Associated Press centers video of government forces fighting near the strait.
