A rapid advance by Iran-backed Houthis has led to the fall of Yemen's strategic port city of Mocha. Yemeni generals had requested air cover, but support from Saudi Arabia was not provided. A senior Yemeni source reported that the Houthis launched a massive attack, using large numbers of fighters, ballistic missiles, and other weapons.

The source claimed to have contacted the US Central Command, which said it was monitoring the situation and that Saudi air support was forthcoming. However, the air support did not arrive, and Mocha was captured by the Houthis.

Further details about the situation are available from the source, including the events leading up to the fall of Mocha and the current status of the conflict.
