Deep Dive: An escalation of attacks in Yemen
The Houthi attacks, and Western response, ramped up in the past week.
This week, for work, I have spent significant time researching the latest updates about Houthi attacks on container ships in the Red Sea. I thought I would take advantage of that research and share it with my paid subscribers.
A standard A6 issue will be published in the next day or two.
As a quick reminder, the Houthis have been launching attacks against container ships they believe are connected to Israel’s bombardment of Gaza to show support for the Palestinians.
They are leveraging the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, a thin waterway that connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden, which is along the path towards the Suez Canal. Around 12% of global commerce travels through the strait.
