Yemen Houthis Mine Bab al-Mandeb
Concerns about maritime security in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait are escalating due to the rising fighting in Yemen and the military movements of the Houthis near the strait, where they have dug trenches and laid mines in parts of the vital waterway. The escalation has increased tensions in the region, with the Houthis controlling strategic sites and islands, raising the risks to shipping and trade. This comes amid a surge in displacement and the worsening humanitarian crisis in Yemen, while the United Nations and Saudi Arabia warn of the repercussions of escalating tensions on regional security and maritime routes.
