Houthi advance on Yemen's Red Sea coast threatens oil flows, displaces 100,000

Houthi militants have made a rapid advance along Yemen's west coast, raising fears of a new oil supply crisis and regional escalation. The fighting, the most significant in years between Iran-aligned Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces, has displaced over 100,000 civilians. The development signals a potential shift in the conflict's momentum, with direct implications for Red Sea shipping and energy markets.
