A group named Houthi takes land in Yemen. They rule the coast at the Red Sea. They also rule the island named Mayyun. This island sits in a water path named Bab al-Mandab.
This water path is a key ship route. Ships move oil and goods to Europe. The group gets help from Iran. Saudi Arabia helps the land Yemen.
The fights make many people flee. More than 46000 people run away. Saudi Arabia attacks a port town with planes. Yemen plans a counter attack.
Experts worry about money and jobs. Prices rise if ships cannot use this way. This hits oil and gas the most. Germany gets many goods from this sea path too.
