The French news agency reported from two military sources affiliated with the Houthis today, Saturday, that experts from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard visited the Bab al-Mandab area to study the installation of radars nearby and supervise tunnel excavation work in the hills overlooking it.

The sources stated that the Iranian experts working with the Houthis visited the Bab al-Mandab area, the port and airport of Mocha, and the Mount of Fire camp east of Mocha.

They added that the experts supervised the excavation of tunnels in the hills overlooking Mocha and Bab al-Mandab and discussed the installation of radars near Mocha and on Zaqr Island in the southern Red Sea.

The sources indicated that the experts came from Al-Hudaydah and conducted separate visits between Thursday and Friday.

In the same context, Yemeni government sources told the French news agency on Saturday that the fighting has intensified between the Houthis and government forces around the Khaboub mountains overlooking the Bab al-Mandab area.

The conflict in Yemen has seen a sharp escalation since July, against the backdrop of the war in the Middle East between Iran and the United States.
