Houthi fighters flee by sea after being surrounded by Yemeni forces

Houthi militants escaped by boat across the sea after being surrounded by Yemeni government forces in Dhubab, while the government called on the remaining Houthi fighters to surrender.

A spokesperson for the government forces said their troops had cut off the road between Dhubab and Mokha and established fire control over the area. Al Arabiya’s correspondent reported that heavy air cover accompanied the government advance along the western coast.
