AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoMaritime Security: Two separate hijackings off Yemen and Somalia have put fresh pressure on shipping through the Gulf of Aden. A tanker known as Seamull/SIBU 1 (with 16 Indians aboard) was boarded by six armed men about 136 nautical miles east of Al Mukalla, then redirected toward Somalia; the vessel is linked to a US “shadow fleet” sanction case. Separately, the Cameroon-flagged M/V LUTUF (six Indians among a 10-member crew) was hijacked off Puntland carrying Turkish military-linked equipment and weapons, with the crew’s status still unclear. Red Sea Control: Yemen’s government says the Houthis are planning to seize land along the Bab el-Mandeb coast—targeting areas around Mokha and nearby islands—to tighten control of the chokepoint and disrupt marine traffic. Escalating Yemen War: Government forces reported 81 operations against Houthi positions in 24 hours, while the Houthis claimed drone strikes on Najran airport and an Aramco facility in Saudi Arabia. Food & Trade Impact: A UN/FAO report warns Yemen’s food insecurity is worsening, with over half the population facing crisis-level hunger through September, citing conflict, funding gaps, and trade disruptions tied to regional chokepoints.
