Fighting between the Yemeni government and the Houthi movement has intensified, with Houthi attacks triggering alerts in Saudi Arabia amid regional security concerns. The escalation risks activating the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement involving Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, and Pakistan, while civilian casualties are mounting in Yemen.

◆ The Wire takeaway
