Sept 11 (Reuters) – The Iran-backed Houthis reached the Yemeni town of Dhubab which sits directly on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait across from the island of Perim, two Yemeni government sources told Reuters on Friday.
Control of Dhubab and Perim is key to gaining hold of the strait, government sources told Reuters on Thursday.
