More than 120 killed in Yemen's worst clashes in years: sources
More than 120 people have been killed in Yemen's worst fighting in years. Houthi rebels launched a fresh ground, rocket and drone offensive near the Bab al-Mandab strait, the Red Sea's southern gateway. This is one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, already disrupted by Houthi attacks since 2023. Businesses moving goods through this route should watch for delays and rising freight costs.
