DD Geopolitics(@DD_Geopolitics):🇾🇪 BREAKING!!! Ansarallah forces have reportedly LANDED ON MAYUN ISLAND — directly inside the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Clashes are reportedly underway as Yemeni forces attempt to seize the extraordinarily strategic island, also known as Perim, which sits at the narrowest section of the strait between Yemen and Djibouti. Mayun hosts an airbase linked to the UAE, with a runway capable of handling military aircraft and claims of an Israeli presence on the island have circulated for years. Control of Dhubab and Perim Island is key to gaining control of Bab al-Mandab. If confirmed, this is a huge development.
