Reports via BBC News say0:13Houthi attacks in central Yemen in the0:14same window reportedly killed at least0:1630 Yemeni government troops backed by0:18Saudi Arabia, putting civilian0:20casualties in Najran alongside heavy0:22losses for Saudi aligned forces inland.0:24The Iran-backed Houthis announced a0:26naval blockade in the Red Sea and0:27attacked Saudi tankers and oil0:29facilities, BBC News reports with the0:31Houthis saying via Frank Gardner and BBC0:33News they have targeted [music] eight0:35Saudi oil tankers. Saudi Arabia0:37responded with strikes on military sites0:39in Yemen. [music] BBC News reports, the0:41geography links the fronts. Najran sits0:43on Saudi Arabia's southern border with0:45Yemen.0:45>> [music]0:46>> Central Yemen is where government troops0:47were reportedly killed and the Red Sea0:49corridor now under blockade sits between0:51[music] those battlefields and the0:53Strait of Hormuz it was meant to0:54replace. Tanker crews and port0:56facilities are now in the line of fire0:58[music] alongside civilians in Najran1:00and soldiers in central Yemen. Since the1:02war started, Saudi Arabia had been using1:04the Red Sea [music] to export oil,1:06bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, BBC News1:08reports, which is why cutting that route1:10risks not just retaliation but a wider1:13disruption to global oil flows. The1:15Strait was already the bottleneck Saudi1:16Arabia sought to avoid. All of the1:18casualty [music]1:19and blockade claims remain attributed1:21with no independent confirmation1:22provided. The Najran strike is described1:25as suspected Houthi, the 30 troops1:27killed [music] as reported via BBC News,1:29and the eight tankers as a Houthi claim1:31carried via BBC News. The unresolved1:34consequence is whether a reciprocal1:36blockade, Houthi interdiction at sea and1:38Saudi strikes on land, [music]1:40widens into a sustained shutdown of Red1:42Sea oil traffic, forcing Saudi exports1:44back toward the Strait [music] of Hormuz1:46and exposing more civilians and1:47seafarers to strikes.مضمون پڑھیںخبر کی زمانی ترتیبHeyDexمختصر ویڈیو ↗
