Last update: 8 hours agoYemen–Saudi escalation: Yemen’s Supreme Political Council vowed a “direct, equivalent” response after Saudi strikes hit Sana’a airport, repeating the Ansarullah deterrence line: “airports for airports, ports for ports, siege for siege.” Red Sea pressure: Iran has urged Yemen’s Houthis to be ready to close the Red Sea gateway/Bab al-Mandeb if the US targets Iran’s energy infrastructure—raising fears of another shipping choke-point crisis. Bab al-Mandeb risk to fuel: A think tank warned the Philippines, Pakistan and Japan are especially exposed to fuel shortages if Bab al-Mandeb is disrupted, since Saudi crude flows would face longer routes. Humanitarian toll: Save the Children said landmines and explosive remnants of war killed or injured 45 Yemeni children in the first half of 2026, a sharp rise from last year. Maritime security incident: UKMTO reported a chemical tanker boarded by “unauthorized personnel” off Yemen in the Gulf of Aden; authorities are investigating amid renewed piracy concerns.
