The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have claimed new attacks on Saudi Arabia, as the Saudi-backed Yemeni government described their swift advance along the Red Sea coast as a "painful" development in the ongoing Iran war. The Houthis' capture of a key port city and an island on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait has alarmed markets and Yemeni civilians who fear a return to devastating civil war.
