Witness the impact of U.S.-British airstrikes on various parts of Yemen, including the capital Sanaa and Hodeidah airport, as reported by Al Masirah TV and residents on Friday.
Reports indicate strikes also hit the south of Dhamar city, according to Al Masirah TV.
Iran-aligned Houthi militants’ attacks on international shipping near Yemen have led to retaliatory strikes from the U.S. and British forces, causing disruptions to global trade routes.
Ship owners are rerouting vessels away from the Red Sea and Suez Canal, opting for the longer route around the southern tip of Africa to avoid the conflict zone.
Analysis:
The recent U.S.-British airstrikes in Yemen have significant implications for global trade and maritime industry. The attacks, aimed at Houthi militants, have led to disruptions in shipping routes, forcing vessels to take longer paths to avoid conflict zones. This escalation of conflict not only impacts the region but also has ripple effects on international trade and economy. Investors and stakeholders need to closely monitor the situation for potential risks and opportunities arising from these developments.
