Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether it reflects broader Houthi operational planning beyond demonstrated protest activity.

• Track whether similar protests occur in other Houthi-controlled areas, potentially signaling coordinated messaging campaigns
