2026 Houthi Offensive Yemen Map

🇾🇪 The Houthis are tearing across Yemen at an insane pace In barely a month, they've reportedly swept across huge stretches of western Yemen, pushing down the Red Sea coast and toward one of the world's most important shipping chokepoints: the Bab al-Mandab Strait. And the really crazy part? Some of those advances happened in just SEVEN DAYS. Years of relatively frozen frontlines, and suddenly the whole map is being redrawn. Saudi-backed forces are now fighting to claw back territory, but the speed of the Houthi advance raises some serious questions about how those defensive lines collapsed so quickly.
