Chaos unfolding.
Iranian controlled Iraqi militias being bombed in the North and bruising Saudi Arabia back. Bad days at Aramco.
Houthi forces steamrolled out of the East & South by UAE trained militias called the Southern Giants.
Yemeni govt forces withdrawing from the port city to and linking up with the Giants.
Southern Giant forces already doing victory dances.
Houthis mustering reinforcements of teenagers loaded up on khat.

It's gone to hell very, very quickly.

The consensus is that the The Yemeni Civil War never ended and this is documented as the 2026 Offensive.

FREE YEMEN.

They said they targeted it, they didn't specify if they were successful, and that was 3 days ago. The only thing that's known is damage at Yanbu. The main thing on video they have definitely blown up are transport trucks.

I pulled Zoom Earth and dropped a dot on the center of that smoke. It's 23.639000, 39.833000 right ?

Center of the darkest dot when the fire starts forming around 7am sept 10, call it 23.962, 39.937.

For something called Zoom Earth, you can't really zoom the resolution is terrible.

On services you can't zoom into, none of them show pipeline infrastructure at either of those gps coords.

can zoom.

The people that watch the fire data are insist it's an oil fire. They're usually pretty good at that kind of OSINT. Aramco's day just got a lot worse.

"According to Axios, bin Salman called Trump twice yesterday, asking for airstrikes but was refused help aside from CENTCOM forces advising Saudi operators"

Shipping is about to get very expensive.

"CNN Report: Over 100 U.S. military advisers are on Saudi soil, feeding intelligence and targets to Saudi forces in the operation against the Houthis. The U.S. is providing geospatial targeting and a tool that lets officers track the battlefield in real time, but is not joining strikes or refueling.

American officials now believe hundreds of Revolutionary Guards officers are inside Yemen. One assesses the Iranian officers are working with the Houthis to eventually close the Bab al-Mandab strait, a move CNN earlier described as Tehran's "doomsday weapon" if talks with the U.S. collapse."

Without a ground war in Iran (thank god), and Hormuz output slowly climbing, the battlefield has moved (----).
