Associated Press Report: Yemeni Houthi fighters seized control of the strategic Greater and Lesser Hanish archipelago, situated 13°45'N in the southern Red Sea bottleneck.

Chokepoint Bottleneck: The islands command the 18-mile-wide transit passage north of Bab el-Mandeb, exposing commercial traffic to coastal anti-ship cruise missiles and kamikaze drone boats.

Supply Line Disruption: Saudi oil exports originating in Yanbu/Jeddah bound southwards or foreign vessels routing to Suez face detour calculations adding 8-14 transit days around southern Africa.
