On the evening of October 13, Yemen’s Houthi movement said the Saudi-led coalition had carried out a barrage of 104 airstrikes and missile attacks within 24 hours. The attacks targeted several key areas, including the capital, Sana’a, and numerous other provinces and cities, bringing the total number of strikes to 2,281 since tensions flared up again on September 3.

This major military escalation signals a serious security risk in the Red Sea corridor and the Arabian Peninsula. Observers fear that retaliatory actions could directly threaten critical energy infrastructure in the region.

Traditional financial markets are facing negative sentiment as the risk of energy supply disruptions grows. Crude oil and gold prices tend to rise sharply during similar periods of tension, while money flows into safe-haven assets, strengthening the U.S. dollar index.

In crypto markets, risk aversion could trigger short-term corrections in $BTC . Investors should carefully monitor institutional capital flows before making any new trading decisions. 🛡️
