01 · THE DISPATCH

According to a single unverified assessment, the Houthi movement in Yemen may be preparing to conduct operational activity in the Bab el-Mandeb strait area. The assessment, published late Wednesday night, provides no details on the nature, timing, or scope of the potential operation. The Bab el-Mandeb strait is a strategic chokepoint that the Houthis have previously targeted, as The Zioneer has reported on past attacks on vessels in the area. However, this report remains unconfirmed and should be treated as a developing assessment.
