## Prediction

Saudi forces are likely to launch an intensified wave of airstrikes on Houthi positions around Marib, Mokha, and the Red Sea coast in the next 24 hours to blunt the offensive and signal resolve after repeated airbase and pipeline attacks. Expect targeting of logistics nodes, coastal gun/missile sites, and suspected command centers linked to Bab el‑Mandeb control. This will raise immediate risk to Yemeni civilians near port areas and frontlines, and increase the probability of Houthi retaliation on Saudi infrastructure and shipping. Confirmation would be multiple reported Saudi sorties or BDA on coastal and Marib-adjacent targets; denial would be an observable Saudi pause tied to active back-channel negotiations.

## Drivers

- Repeated Saudi airstrikes on southwestern Yemeni port areas already underway
- Saudi signaling of readiness for a major offensive pending political approval
- Fresh Houthi ballistic and drone attacks on King Khalid Airbase
- Heavy clashes and Houthi advances reported around Marib and Mokha
