Mysterious airstrip in Bab el-Mandeb Strait off Yemen appears ready, satelitte images show

Satellite images from Planet Labs PBC show an airstrip now appears ready on Mayun Island, a volcanic outcropping in the center of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait off Yemen.
The images show the airstrip had been painted with the designation markings “09” and “27” to the airstrip’s east and west respectively.
World powers have recognized the island’s strategic location for hundreds of years, especially with the opening of the Suez Canal linking the Mediterranean and Red Seas.
