What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Missile attacks by the Houthis on Saudi Arabia's infrastructure are disrupting flight operations and remittance flows in Bangladesh. Saudi Arabia is a major source of remittance for Bangladesh; last fiscal year, the country received about $5.85 billion from the Kingdom, making it the largest source of inflow.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The attacks pose a risk to the economy of Bangladesh, which relies heavily on remittances from its migrant workers in Saudi Arabia. If the strikes on vital Saudi infrastructure continue, it could reduce employment opportunities for migrant workers and threaten the inflow of remittances, one of the two pillars of the Bangladeshi economy.

Houthis have escalated attacks against Saudi interests and shipping lanes in the Red Sea while the Saudi-led coalition supports Yemen's government.
