Houthi rebels have seized control of Yemen's Red Sea coast, capturing three key islands in a rapid offensive, according to reports. The move has intensified tensions in the region as Saudi Arabia suspends a major oil pipeline following a drone attack. The conflict has led to increased civilian casualties, with residents reporting heightened insecurity. The Saudi-led coalition has confirmed the pipeline shutdown, which disrupts oil exports and affects regional energy markets. Meanwhile, U.S. President Trump has stated that the Houthis have requested the United States not to intervene in the conflict. Iraqi officials have also announced the dismissal of a military commander after investigations linked drone attacks to Yemen. The situation remains volatile, with both sides accusing each other of escalating hostilities. The humanitarian impact continues to grow, with aid organizations warning of worsening conditions for civilians caught in the crossfire.
