> Fighting is escalating across Yemen as Houthi attacks and government counteroffensives intensify, deepening concerns about the humanitarian crisis and maritime security around the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. Yemen’s government says Houthi activity along the western coast and near the strait threatens international maritime trade and has called for international deterrence. The worsening conflict is also driving mass displacement and further humanitarian distress.
