MOSCOW: The situation in the Bab El-Mandeb strait is developing in an uncontrolled manner, prompting concern in Moscow, Interfax reported on Saturday, citing Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis reached the strategic island of Perim in the Bab El-Mandeb strait on Friday, four Yemeni government sources told Reuters, moving to tighten their grip on a vital global shipping route in the widening Middle East war.
