Saudi-backed forces say they retook Yemen's Mokha port from Houthi rebels

Saudi-backed Yemeni forces said they seized the Red Sea port city of Mokha and secured the nearby Bab al-Mandab Strait, at the start of an offensive against Iran-backed Houthi rebels who have disrupted tanker traffic there. A Saudi-led coalition said its jets bombed Houthi positions as the campaign continued. Brent crude held around $100 a barrel despite reports of increased Mideast oil flows.
