Yemen's Houthis have attacked Aden airport with ballistic missiles and explosive-laden drones. This attack marks an escalation in the ongoing conflict between the Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces in Yemen. The fighting has significant implications for global trade and energy markets, as the Bab el-Mandeb Strait has become a crucial shipping route for energy exports, particularly since the US-Iran conflict restricted trade through the Strait of Hormuz. The situation may lead to increased volatility in oil prices and global markets.
