Fresh Yemen clashes kill more than 60: military, medical sources
On Saturday, deadly clashes between Yemen's Saudi-backed government forces and Houthi rebels killed over 60 people, including six civilians in a missile strike. The fighting is around Bab al-Mandab, an oil route that matters more after Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. Indian businesses should track crude prices and shipping costs for possible effects.
Key Statutory Highlights
- More than 60 people were killed in Yemen on Saturday, including 26 government troops, 31 rebel fighters, and six civilians.
- A missile strike on a bus travelling between Taiz and Aden killed six civilians and wounded seven others, with a government official blaming the Houthis.
- The clashes are near the Bab al-Mandab strait, a key transit route for Saudi oil made more important by Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your business depends on fuel or imported goods, keep a close watch on oil prices and shipping costs over the next few weeks.
