Yemen Conflict Escalates with Houthi Advances and Attacks on Saudi Arabia
Fighting in Yemen has intensified as Iran-backed Houthi rebels advanced along the Red Sea coast, capturing key locations including the port city of Mokha and strategic islands near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The Houthis have launched missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia, which supports Yemen's internationally recognized government. The conflict has displaced over 80,000 people since early September, with many fleeing to Djibouti. The escalation threatens vital shipping routes and has raised concerns about a broader regional conflict and impacts on global oil supplies.
