Yemen on the map

Yemen occupies the south-western corner of the Arabian Peninsula, bordering Saudi Arabia to the north and Oman to the east. The Houthi movement controls the north-west, including the capital Sanaa and the Red Sea port of Hodeidah; the internationally recognised government is based in Aden in the south. Bab el-Mandeb, the strait between Yemen and the Horn of Africa at the southern entrance to the Red Sea, is about 30 km wide at its narrowest, which is why shipping there sits within range of missiles and drones launched from Houthi-held territory.

Places that recur in the reporting

  • Sanaa and Saada in the Houthi-held north
  • Hodeidah and the Red Sea coast
  • Bab el-Mandeb and the Gulf of Aden
  • Aden and the south
  • The Saudi border and the Red Sea shipping lanes
