This is real news. They just captured a bunch of modern Saudi-supplied equipment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThW3uz62XvI

Yes, I know its real news. I am speaking to the title. It's always "The Houthis did this" or "Houthi-controlled areas do X".

They need to just stop promoting alternative facts and call it Yemen.

Will this bring oil prices down in Europe? Oil tankers could still go to the mediteranian via the suez canal. This will not help asia, but I can imagine if it is too dangerous the go through bab al-mandab strait it is more lucrative to sell the crude oil to europe at a discount?
