The UN’s sharply higher displacement count shows how the latest Houthi-government battles are converting a strategic Red Sea offensive into a widening civilian emergency.

Separate calls involving Pakistan's defence chief and Saudi Arabia's foreign minister show Islamabad trying to contain regional spillover without promising military action.

The meeting followed Houthi advances near Bab al-Mandeb and cross-border attacks, with diplomats warning that renewed warfare threatens civilians, aid operations and international shipping.

The capture places Houthi forces on the island dividing the strategic waterway’s two shipping channels and raises new risks for Red Sea traffic.

A renewed flight from government debt spread across major economies as Middle East supply fears intensified inflation pressure and the ECB raised its policy rates.

The company says it disabled the identified operations, but its threat report shows how general-purpose AI is lowering barriers across military, biological and intelligence activity.

The request marks a reversal from Riyadh's earlier preference to handle the confrontation itself as Houthi advances threaten the Bab el-Mandeb shipping route.

The coastal breakthrough gives the Yemeni movement greater leverage near Bab el-Mandeb as regional fighting threatens shipping, energy flows and an already severe humanitarian crisis.

A new system-wide assessment says donor cuts reduced both the reach and depth of assistance in 2025, with women, children, displaced people and older people hit hardest.

Clashes across several Yemeni fronts and renewed cross-border attacks are displacing thousands of families and putting the fragile UN-led political process under greater strain.

Islamabad’s warning gives the Saudi-Turkish-Pakistani security agreement its first serious test as fighting in Yemen again spills across borders.

Families in Taiz are sending children to work as war, displacement and rising costs turn nominally free education into an unaffordable choice.
