Renewed Yemen fighting and Saudi Arabia fatality

Renewed fighting in Yemen has escalated as Houthi forces advanced along the Red Sea coast, including Perim Island, intensifying concerns over Bab el-Mandeb shipping and Saudi oil routes after the East-West Pipeline was shut following a drone attack.

The latest escalation reached Riyadh, where Saudi authorities issued air-raid alerts and said they intercepted a Houthi ballistic missile, while the Houthis claimed missile and drone attacks on sensitive sites in the capital and Aramco facilities in Yanbu.
