Explained: BJP Faces Key Test As It Battles To Gain Stronghold In 'Unfriendly' Territories

Houthi rebels have officially entered the Mideast war, claiming responsibility for their first missile attack on Israel since the conflict escalated. Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Houthis, warned that more attacks are underway,’ signaling a potential new threat to the Red Sea corridor. The Israeli military intercepted the strike, but the announcement raises fears of further escalation, including disruptions to global shipping. Houthis have previously targeted merchant vessels with missiles and drones, sinking ships and causing casualties. Their entrance into the conflict marks a dangerous turn, intensifying tensions in the region and adding a new layer of risk to international trade and security.
