US and British military forces hit multiple spots in Yemen on nov 10th‚ targeting the capital Sanaa and nearby Amran area (according to local reports from Houthi-run Al Masirah TV)
The joint-operation included about 9 separate strikes that shook the capital region and its out-lying areas. The Houthis who control much of northern Yemen have been using their media channels to report these events; their version of events cant be independently verified
The Houthi group — which has Iranʼs backing — started attacking ships near Yemenʼs coast last winter. They say its their way to support Palestinians in the Israel-Hamas war: these sea-raids have made the shipping industry re-think its routes
Global trade is seeing big changes because of this mess. Many ships dont want to use the Red Sea anymore; theyʼre taking a much-longer path around Africa instead of going through the Suez Canal. This new route adds weeks to delivery times and costs way-more money
