    Escalating their offensive on Yemen's strategic, petroleum-rich province, Houthi insurgents launched strikes yesterday that claimed no fewer than 10 lives, military contacts and a government minister confirmed. The ceasefire established in 2022 between the Saudi-aligned Yemeni administration and the Iran-backed Houthis collapsed last month. On Thursday alone, missile strikes by rebel forces killed at least 58 government soldiers in Marib province. Hans Grundberg, serving as the UN special envoy to Yemen, warned in an official statement that the nation currently stands at its highest risk of a full-scale military conflict resuming since the April 2022 UN-negotiated armistice.

This movement offers hope for resuming crude oil shipments that have suffered five months of disruption amid the US-Iran military conflict. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the official noted that Washington projects a swift pact between the neighboring nations bordering the waterway, allowing regular tanker transit to restart.
