New attacks have been reported in the Gulf region, and the Houthis have taken control of Zuqar Island, according to Sky TG24. The Italian broadcaster published the developments on Thursday, 10 September 2026, as part of its live coverage of hostilities between Iran and the United States.
Sky TG24 links the fresh strikes and the island takeover to the wider Iran-United States conflict. The report does not specify the parties behind the new attacks or give details on casualties or damage.
Zuqar Island lies in the Red Sea near the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a waterway that carries a significant share of global shipping. Control of the island therefore carries strategic weight beyond its size. Sky TG24's headline frames the Houthi seizure as part of the same live story as the Gulf attacks, though the material available does not establish a direct link between the two events.
The broadcaster's coverage is running as a live blog, meaning details are being updated as they emerge. No independent confirmation of the island's capture or of the reported attacks was available in the source material.
What to watch next: whether Sky TG24's live coverage adds confirmation of the island's status, details on the new attacks, and any official response from Iran, the United States or the Houthis.
