Yemeni Houthis have taken control of the town of Hudeida after a lightening offensive Tuesday, AFP reports. This advance comes less than a month after the rebels took control of Yemen’s capital, Sanaa.
According to AFP, the Houthis were met with little resistance as they seized the city’s seaport and airport.
Yemen’s Houthis have been unhappy with President Hadi’s administration and have demanded more participation in their government.
