Mokha: Yemeni government forces captured yesterday the port of Mokha as they pushed to oust Huthi rebels from the Red Sea coastline, a journalist said.
Government forces were combing the port, a journalist accompanying the troops said, almost three weeks after the loyalists launched an offensive against the Shia insurgents and their allies on Yemen's southwestern coast. An official statement said government forces recaptured the whole city, but a military commander in the field said that loyalists were still fighting the rebels on the southern outskirts of Mokha.
