There is a lot of fighting going on in Yemen right now, and it is starting to worry people all over the world.
Government forces in Yemen say they have taken control of the Bab al-Mandab Strait. This is a very important path for ships carrying oil. Because so much oil travels through this area, people are worried that the fighting could make gas prices go up in places like the United States.
At the same time, the Yemeni army says they have started a mission to take back the capital city, Sanaa, from Houthi rebels. The Houthis are a group that controls parts of the country and are supported by Iran.
Things got even more serious when the Houthis claimed they attacked a facility owned by Aramco. Aramco is a massive oil company. This move has made other countries nervous about the safety of oil supplies.
To fight back, a group of countries led by Saudi Arabia is using fighter jets to bomb the Houthi rebels. The situation is moving very fast, and it is becoming a big problem for the Middle East and for world energy markets.
