The Houthis shot down a Saudi F-15

🇸🇦🇾🇪‼️🚨 Houthis chant: “This will be the fate of Al Saud: submission and humiliation in Yemen.”

The Houthis shot down a Saudi F-15.

The situation in Yemen stays in the Houthis’ favor. They can hold their gains and defend against other Yemeni groups supported by the Saudis.

This is critical for global trade, as the Houthis now control a second key strait for world trade.

The “Gate of Tears” facilitates 40% of global container traffic. The Houthis now control it, and that will not change, it seems.
