也门胡塞武装夺取红海战略港口莫卡

也门胡塞武装已夺取红海战略性港口城市莫卡123，该港口位于曼德海峡南方约75至80公里处12。这一举动标志着自2022年联合国停火协议以来胡塞武装最大规模的领土扩张2，使其更接近对这一关键国际航道的控制1。

莫卡被占领前一周，胡塞武装在西南沿海地区发动攻势，导致数百人丧生、数千人流离失所1。冲突随后进一步升级。胡塞武装向沙特南部发射数十架无人机和导弹，造成73名平民伤亡并引发油田设施火灾1。作为回应，沙特阿拉伯对邻近地区发动空袭，包括对也门塔伊兹省迪巴卜地区的10次空袭2，以及对哈兹姆镇监狱的轰炸，当地官员称至少23名平民在空袭中丧生1。

胡塞发言人阿卜杜勒萨拉姆表示将维持自由航行和国际贸易安全2。然而，此前四年的非正式停火从7月开始瓦解，胡塞武装宣布对沙特的"海上禁运"1。红海对沙特油气出口至关重要，这一地区冲突的升级在当前中东局势紧张的背景下显得尤为敏感1。也门内战已造成超过15万人死亡，胡塞武装控制着也门首都萨那及北西部人口稠密地区，而国际认可的也门政府总部设在南部城市亚丁2。

Yemen's Houthi forces have taken control of the strategic port city of Mokha on the Red Sea, marking a significant territorial gain in the country's ongoing conflict.12 The capture, which occurred on September 10, represents the largest expansion of Houthi-controlled territory since a United Nations ceasefire agreement in 2022.2 Mokha lies approximately 75 to 80 kilometers south of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a critical global shipping corridor.12

The offensive has escalated tensions dramatically in the region. One week of fighting has resulted in hundreds of deaths and thousands of displaced persons.1 On Tuesday, the Houthis launched dozens of unmanned aircraft and missiles at southern Saudi Arabia, killing 73 civilians and triggering fires at oil facilities.1 In response, Saudi forces conducted airstrikes on the town of Hazm in Yemen, with local officials reporting at least 23 civilian deaths in a prison facility.1 The four-year informal ceasefire that had held since July has now collapsed, as the Houthis announced a "maritime blockade" against Saudi Arabia.1

A Houthi spokesman stated the group's commitment to maintaining freedom of navigation and international trade security,2 though the capture of Mokha raises concerns about threats to Red Sea shipping and oil transport routes.13 The Red Sea remains crucial for Saudi oil and gas exports, particularly amid tensions involving Iran.1 The broader Yemeni civil war has claimed over 150,000 lives, with the Houthis currently controlling the capital Sanaa and densely populated northwestern regions, while the internationally recognized government is based in the southern city of Aden.2
