## Prediction

Within 24 hours, continued or follow-on Saudi strikes in the southwestern Yemeni port area are likely to disrupt unloading of commercial fuel and humanitarian cargo, forcing rerouting or temporary suspension of some shipments. Civilians in Red Sea coastal towns and in Marib reliant on these supply lines will face higher prices, fuel shortages, and interrupted aid distributions. Confirmation would be UN or NGO statements about port disruptions and delays, plus satellite indications of damage to port facilities; a contrary scenario would see Saudi assurances of limited, precise targeting away from operational berths and quick resumption of normal traffic.

## Drivers

- Recent Saudi airstrikes targeting a port area in southwestern Yemen
- Simultaneous heavy ground fighting around Marib and along the Red Sea coast
- Houthi control of Bab el-Mandeb increasing militarization of Red Sea corridor
