The Houthi offensive in the Red Sea is raising tensions in the Middle East and oil prices, while a drone shot down by NATO over Lithuania is reviving fears about the war in Ukraine.
In a matter of days of lightning offensive, Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, have taken control of the entire Yemeni coastline of the Red Sea and the strategic Bab-El-Mandeb Strait, displacing nearly 94,000 people according to IOM.
