Saudi Arabia initiated a major military operation involving 100 fighter jets to regain control of the Bab al-Mandeb strait from Houthi forces, with Pakistan and Turkey also sending troops under the Mecca Pact to support the effort.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new flashpoint in shipping and logistics as Saudi military backing with Turkish and Pakistani troops targets a critical maritime chokepoint controlled by the Houthis. Disruptions here could redirect regional trade routes and impact supply chains you rely on immediately.
