The Houthis have claimed a wider campaign against Saudi Arabia, saying they targeted eight Saudi oil tankers and blocked 48 others between July 20 and August 19. The group also claims attacks on Saudi military positions and heavy casualties, but these claims have not been independently verified. In this Firstpost Live episode, we analyse the developments as tensions rise around the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb. With the Strait of Hormuz already disrupted, any further escalation could put another critical global shipping route at risk. The UN has called for restraint, while the Houthis warn of further escalation. Gursshheen Gahllen tells you more.
