[Yemen] Battles: 무장 충돌

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Armed clashes occurred on March 31, 2025, between Houthi forces and Southern Transitional Council (STC) brigades in the Ad Dhawari front near Al Qabbaytah, Lahij governorate in Yemen. The engagement resulted in casualties on both sides, with 2 Houthis killed and 3 injured, plus 3 STC soldiers wounded.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. The Lahij governorate's interior location means immediate disruption to major shipping lanes or energy infrastructure is unlikely unless fighting spreads to coastal areas or energy-producing regions.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation that could spread toward Yemen's Red Sea coastline or major ports
• Track whether this represents a broader resumption of hostilities between Houthis and southern forces that could affect regional stability
