Saudi-led operations besiege Shiite rebels: Bab al-Mandab Strait

Emirati soldiers, taking part in the Saudi-led operations against Shiite Huthi rebels, stand during rehabilitation and demining operations at the Al-Anad airbase in the southern Lahj governorate, some 50 kilometres north of the Red Sea port of Aden on October 5, 2015. Yemeni forces besieged Shiite rebels who have retreated to a mountainous area near the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait that loyalists recaptured last week, military sources said.
