The Houthis are escalating pressure on Saudi Arabia, with fresh footage reportedly showing drone attacks on Saudi-aligned forces in Yemen as fears mount over a wider campaign against the kingdom’s energy, aviation and Red Sea interests. The latest developments come amid claims that Houthi forces are mobilising along Yemen’s western coast. The group does hold Hodeidah, a key Red Sea port, but does not control the Bab al-Mandab coastal areas. Recent fighting and reported missile strikes near Mocha have intensified concerns about maritime security, Saudi oil exports and the possibility of a renewed full-scale war in Yemen.
