The Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen says it has recaptured key areas around the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait from Houthi rebels. The Houthis, meanwhile, claimed attacks on Saudi oil facilities, airports and military bases. The internationally recognized Yemeni government says allied forces retook the town of Dhubab and others Monday. The offensive launched under Saudi air cover followed the Houthis' capture of more territory in southwestern Yemen. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed U.S. support for the Saudi coalition, including intelligence sharing. The conflict has intensified, reviving Yemen's civil war after a four-year ceasefire. The war has displaced thousands and killed over 150,000 people.
