Last update: 2 hours agoUS-Yemen diplomacy and strikes: Reports say Trump ordered the Pentagon to prepare airstrikes on the Houthis, then called them off at the last minute, even as bombs were reportedly loaded and target lists approved. Houthi push for Red Sea control: Houthis moved to seize strategic high ground to tighten their grip on the Red Sea coast after the US U-turn, while the Saudi-backed government says it is fighting back on multiple fronts. Saudi air campaign continues: Saudi strikes hit Yemen’s Al Jawf communications towers, killing four workers and wounding three, and artillery/rockets shelled Sa’ada. Humanitarian fallout: UN agencies warn of worsening conditions as displacement climbs—more than 158,000 people displaced since early September—and WFP says it is scaling up food aid for hundreds of thousands. Money squeeze in newly captured areas: In western Yemen, Houthis enforced old banknotes in areas they seized, disrupting banking and cash transfers. Regional pressure on shipping and energy: With Bab al-Mandeb and the wider Red Sea under strain, attacks and shelling are adding to global supply worries.
