Houthi Rebels Capture Strategic Mokha Port in Yemen

Iran-backed Houthi rebels captured Yemen’s strategic Red Sea port city of Mokha in September 2026, marking one of their biggest territorial gains in years and opening a new front in the region’s ongoing conflict. Mokha lies close to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a narrow waterway connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden through which roughly 12 percent of the world’s oil and other goods typically pass. The Houthis have been fighting Yemen’s internationally recognised government, which is backed by Saudi Arabia, since 2014, while Iran has backed the Houthi side. With Mokha now under Houthi control, concerns have grown over further disruption to shipping through the strait, which was already under pressure due to separate tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.

Static GK Box:

• The Bab el-Mandeb Strait connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and is one of the world’s busiest shipping chokepoints.
• The Houthi movement, also called Ansar Allah, has controlled Yemen’s capital Sanaa since 2014.
• Saudi Arabia entered the Yemen conflict in 2015 in support of the internationally recognised government.
• The Strait of Hormuz, a separate chokepoint near Iran, has also seen repeated tensions affecting global oil shipping routes.

As the presidency-holding nation, the USA is hosting all G20-related ministerial meetings through the year, in addition to the main annual G20 Leaders’ Summit, which is scheduled to take place in Miami later in 2026.

Static GK Box:

• The G20 presidency rotates annually among member countries; the USA held it in 2026 after South Africa’s term the previous year.

• Manohar Lal Khattar is a former Chief Minister of Haryana who now holds a Union Cabinet portfolio.

India and Vietnam Declare 2027 as “Year of India-Vietnam Friendship”

India and Vietnam have announced that 2027 will be observed as the “Year of India-Vietnam Friendship,” marking 55 years since the two countries established formal diplomatic relations. The decision was announced during the 19th India-Vietnam Joint Commission Meeting held in New Delhi, jointly chaired by India’s External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar and Vietnam’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Bui Thanh Son. Throughout 2027, both countries plan to hold cultural exchange programmes, university collaborations, and state-level events to promote each other’s culture and strengthen bilateral and cultural ties.

The championship is held once every two years; Tokyo, Japan hosted the 2025 edition, Beijing, China will host it in 2027, and after Nairobi’s 2029 edition, Munich, Germany is set to host the championship in 2031. Kenya is widely regarded as one of the world’s powerhouse nations in middle and long-distance running events.

Static GK Box:

• Nairobi is the capital of Kenya, a country renowned for producing world-class marathon and distance runners.

India Becomes World’s Fourth-Largest Forex Reserve Holder

India’s foreign exchange reserves surged by a record $44.9 billion in the week ending 4 September 2026, taking the total to an all-time high of $785.7 billion and pushing India past Russia into fourth place globally, behind only China, Japan, and Switzerland. According to Bloomberg-compiled data, the sharp rise was driven largely by strong dollar inflows through the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) FCNR(B) (Foreign Currency Non-Resident Bank) deposit scheme, even as the gold component of the reserves dipped slightly due to falling gold prices.

Static GK Box:

• China holds the world’s largest foreign exchange reserves, having crossed the $3 trillion mark years ago.
• India’s forex reserves first crossed the $700 billion mark in September 2024.
• The FCNR(B) scheme allows Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to hold fixed deposits in foreign currency with Indian banks.
• Foreign exchange reserves help a country’s central bank stabilise its currency during periods of volatility.

India Ranks 131st in Global Gender Gap Index 2026

Iceland topped the index for the 20th consecutive year, closing over 90 percent of its gender gap, followed by Finland and Norway. Among India’s neighbours, Bangladesh ranked 79th, Nepal 120th, Bhutan 121st, Sri Lanka 129th, and Pakistan 143rd. The 2026 edition marks the 20th anniversary of the index, which the WEF has published annually since 2006.

Static GK Box:

• The Global Gender Gap Index measures parity across four dimensions: economic participation, educational attainment, health and survival, and political empowerment.
• India scored 96.6% parity in educational attainment but only 41.2% in economic participation, showing the gap between the two areas.
• The World Economic Forum (WEF) is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and was founded in 1971.

Static GK Box:

• Business Sweden is jointly owned by the Swedish government and Swedish industry to promote Swedish exports and investment.
• The survey reflects the perspective of Swedish multinational companies specifically, not a general global business ranking.
• India has consistently featured among the top-ranked emerging markets in various global investment climate surveys in recent years.

Kishau Multipurpose Dam Project Agreement Signed on Tons River

Six Indian states — Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Delhi — have signed an agreement in New Delhi for the Kishau Multipurpose Dam Project, to be built on the Tons River, a tributary of the Yamuna that flows almost entirely through Uttarakhand. The project involves constructing a 232-metre-high dam near the Uttarakhand-Himachal Pradesh border, creating a reservoir capable of irrigating nearly 97,000 hectares of land while generating 660 megawatts of hydroelectric power.

Static GK Box:

• The Tons River is the largest tributary of the Yamuna, originating in Uttarakhand.
• At 232 metres, the proposed Kishau dam would rank among India’s tallest dams once completed.
• Multipurpose river projects like Kishau typically combine irrigation, hydropower generation, and flood control objectives.
• Six states sharing water-project costs and benefits is a relatively rare and complex form of inter-state coordination in India.

Ladakh’s Tsokar Lake Revival Project

The Ladakh administration is undertaking a mega project to revive Tsokar Lake, a high-altitude wetland in the Changthang region of Ladakh, which has shrunk from around 11,000 acres to just 3,200 acres over the past decade — a loss of roughly 70 percent of its area. Under the project, water from the Rupshu-Karnak glacier stream, located at an altitude of about 18,000 feet, is being diverted into the lake, with an estimated 320 million litres of water expected to be channelled in daily to help restore it.

Static GK Box:

• Tsokar Lake’s wetland complex was designated a Ramsar Site (a wetland of international importance) in 2020.
• The lake is an important habitat for migratory birds and the black-necked crane, a high-altitude crane species.

Komic Declared Ladakh’s First Designated Heritage Village

Komic has been declared Ladakh’s first officially designated Heritage Village in September 2026, recognising its cultural, architectural, and historical significance within the Union Territory. The designation is expected to support conservation of the village’s traditional structures while promoting sustainable and responsible tourism in the region.

Static GK Box:

• Heritage Village status is typically aimed at preserving traditional architecture while supporting community-based tourism.
• Ladakh became a Union Territory without a legislature in August 2019, separated from the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.
• Villages at extreme high altitudes in Ladakh, like those in the Spiti-adjacent belt, are known for preserving centuries-old Buddhist monastic architecture.
• This is the first such heritage designation for any village specifically within Ladakh Union Territory.

Environment and Science

Five Orangutans Rescued from Balasore Reserve Forest, Odisha

Five infant orangutans — three males and two females, all under a year old — were recovered from the Balasore Protected Reserve Forest area in Odisha, raising suspicions of wildlife trafficking since orangutans are not a native species to India. The animals have been moved to the Nandankanan Zoological Park in Bhuvaneshwar, Odisha, for care, monitoring, and a safe environment while authorities investigate how they ended up in the state.

Static GK Box:

• Orangutans are native only to the islands of Borneo and Sumatra in Indonesia and Malaysia — never naturally found in India.
