Houthi forces took Mocha on Thursday 10 September after forces of Yemen's Saudi-backed government withdrew south toward Dhubab, according to Al Jazeera's correspondents, three government sources cited by Reuters and a military official cited by Xinhua. Presidential Leadership Council member Tariq Saleh called the pullback a 'tactical withdrawal', and council head Rashad al-Alimi called on the international community to intervene. Mocha lies about 70 km north of the narrowest point of the Bab el-Mandeb strait.
