Houthi forces seized the Yemeni Red Sea port of Mokha on Thursday as government-aligned troops fell back. [1] The New York Times filed the capture through officials. [1] The National filed the same port on the same date. [2] A port taken is not Hormuz. Print Mokha. Do not print a closed Bab el-Mandeb.

Civilians moving toward Aden are a displacement sentence, not a traffic count in the strait. [2] Hays and Al Khawkhah belong in the same western-coast file if named outlets put them there. They are not a second Mokha. They are not an island.

Spokesman copy that navigation remains safe except for named enemies is a claim. A claim is not a lane count. An island at the mouth of the strait belongs to the edition that owns an island. Thursday prints the port. Do not invent a recapture. Do not invent a later island.

Keep this off the Brent lede and off a Gulf table. A Red Sea quay is not a prohibited-zone chart. Print Mokha as a captured port. Leave a later island to the edition that owns a later island.
