Summary
The Yemeni government and Saudi Arabia have initiated a military operation to drive Iran-backed Houthi insurgents from the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a critical corridor for oil and commodity shipments. In response to the campaign, which also involves fighting near Dhubab, the Houthis have intensified drone and missile strikes against Saudi Arabia. The insurgents claim to have hit Saudi military bases, an Aramco refinery, and the international airport in Riyadh. The conflict remains centered on the strategic waterway that connects the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea.
