Houthis say Saudi Arabia hits Yemen with 54 strikes after attack on bases
Saudi Arabia hit western Yemen with 54 airstrikes over 24 hours, the Houthis say, after the Iran-backed group fired drones and missiles at Saudi military bases. Houthi attacks killed eight Yemeni government troops, while two civilians died in Saudi strikes. The group now controls the Red Sea coast and Bab al-Mandab Strait, so shipping through this key route stays risky.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Yemen's Houthis said Saudi Arabia launched 54 airstrikes across western Yemen over a 24-hour period.
- Two military sources with the Aden-based administration told AFP that Houthi missile attacks in western Yemen killed eight Yemeni government troops.
- The Houthis seized control of Yemen's Red Sea coast and the Bab al-Mandab Strait last week.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If your business moves goods through the Red Sea or Bab al-Mandab route, check with your freight forwarder about current sailings and keep buffer stock handy. Please treat this as a general precaution, not a confirmed assessment of port or shipping status.
