Red Sea trade risk: Coalition officials said Houthi escalation is meant to divert attention from abuses in Yemen and warned that attacks on sea lines of communication and ports (including Hodeidah, Ras Isa and Salif) keep damaging Yemen’s economic infrastructure and regional trade routes. Yemen security narrative: Yemeni Armed Forces said Saudi warplanes tried to stop the Mahan Air flight carrying more than 200 stranded, wounded and sick passengers, but were intercepted with air-defense missiles. Local economy & safety: Hadramout Coast Guard recovered a drowning victim off Mukalla and rescued two others, urging strict maritime safety as coastal activity continues.
