## Prediction

Saudi forces are likely to conduct additional airstrikes against Houthi military infrastructure in and around Hodeidah in direct response to the fresh Jazan terminal barrage. Expect targeting of missile launch sites, storage depots, and coastal radar to degrade Houthi strike capacity against Red Sea shipping and Saudi energy assets. This will raise immediate risk of collateral damage near Hodeidah port and adjacent civilian districts, complicating UN and NGO operations. Confirmation would be further strike reports or NOTAMs over western Yemen; a visible Saudi pause combined with mediation outreach from Oman would undercut this forecast.

## Drivers

- Repeated Houthi ballistic missile and drone strikes on Jazan refinery and marine terminal with fires reported
- Recent Saudi airstrikes already reported on Hodeidah governorate and port area
- Escalation trend in CENTCOM theater assessment and Red Sea risk alerts
