Yemen authorities arrest journalist Hamoud Hazz'a on unknown charges in Marib - Yemen Online
The Committee to Protect Journalists condemns the August 16 arrest of Yemen News Agency journalist Hamoud Hazz'a after security forces raided his home in Al-Jufaina camp, Marib Governorate, confiscated his mobile phone and laptop, and took him to an undisclosed location without legal justification. Before his arrest, Hazz'a warned in an August 16 Facebook post that security personnel were stationed outside his home. He later posted that the Fourth Security Zone force had broken down his door, frightening his family. Hazz'a was later transferred from political security detention to military prosecution and brought before military courts. Authorities cited his registration in the Department of Defense as reason for his arrest, National Organization of Yemeni Reporters CEO Yousef Hazeb told CPJ via messaging app. A security official also told local media that Hazz'a's status as a second lieutenant in the National Defense Service Department of the Yemeni Armed Forces prompted the transfer. 'Hazz'a's case shows how press freedom is deteriorating in areas controlled by the internationally recognized government,' said CPJ Regional Director Sara Qudah. 'The exploitation of his honorary military status to justify military court proceedings is clearly an attempt to silence him. He should be released immediately.' The Yemeni Journalists' Syndicate noted that displaced journalists who escaped Houthi-controlled areas are often assigned honorary military ranks or benefits in exchange for media work. The syndicate called on authorities to stop exploiting journalists' circumstances and to respect freedom of expression. Hazz'a has previously informed several press freedom organizations, including the Yemen News Agency, that he has faced online threats and incitement due to his social media commentary on Marib's local government. CPJ contacted the Yemeni embassy in Washington for an update on Hazz'a's whereabouts but received no immediate response.

EU Naval Mission Secures Safe Passage for Over 1,000 Commercial Vessels in the Red Sea
Aden — The European Union has announced that its naval task force operating in the Red Sea has successfully safeguarded the transit of more than 1,000 commercial vessels since the launch of its maritime security mission in early 2024. The operation, known as EUNAVFOR Aspides, was deployed in response to escalating threats from Yemen's Houthi movement, whose missile and drone attacks on international shipping disrupted one of the world's most vital maritime corridors. The EU fleet has since played a pivotal role in restoring navigational safety across the Bab al-Mandab Strait and surrounding waters. Rear Admiral Vasileios Gryparis, commander of the mission, confirmed that over the past 18 months, EU warships have escorted more than 1,000 merchant vessels through high-risk zones, intercepted multiple aerial threats, and provided real-time intelligence to allied forces and shipping companies. 'This milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to maritime security and the global economy,' Gryparis said in a statement. 'The Red Sea remains a strategic artery, and we will continue to ensure its protection.' The Aspides mission currently operates between two and three naval vessels at any given time, with calls from member states to expand the fleet to meet growing demand. The EU has also extended the mission's mandate until February 2026, broadening its scope to include monitoring arms trafficking and shadow fleets linked to sanctioned oil shipments. The announcement comes amid a modest recovery in Red Sea shipping traffic, which had plummeted following Houthi attacks in late 2023. While daily vessel counts remain below pre-crisis levels, the EU's efforts have contributed to a 60% increase in ship movements since mid-2024. International maritime organizations have praised the EU's role in stabilizing the region, though experts caution that threats persist, especially for vessels with links to Israeli ports or ownership.

Hacker Group Targets Houthi-Controlled Red Sea Ports Authority in Yemen Cyberattack
Sana'a — A sophisticated cyberattack has struck the Red Sea Ports Authority, a key maritime institution operated by the Houthi administration in western Yemen, disrupting internal systems and raising concerns over the vulnerability of critical infrastructure in the region. According to sources familiar with the incident, the breach occurred late Monday night and was attributed to an unidentified hacker group believed to be operating outside Yemen. The attackers reportedly infiltrated the Authority's internal network, targeting databases linked to port logistics, vessel tracking, and customs documentation. The Red Sea Ports Authority oversees operations at Hodeidah, Ras Isa, and As-Salif ports—strategic hubs for humanitarian aid and commercial shipping. These ports have come under increasing scrutiny amid regional tensions and ongoing Houthi threats against vessels transiting the Red Sea. Initial reports suggest that the hackers deployed ransomware and data-wiping malware, rendering several systems inoperable. Screenshots allegedly leaked by the group show administrative dashboards frozen and warning messages demanding political concessions rather than financial ransom. A spokesperson for the Houthi-run Ministry of Transport confirmed the cyberattack but downplayed its impact, stating: 'Technical teams are working to restore services. No sensitive data was compromised.' However, maritime analysts warn that the breach could have broader implications for shipping security and international coordination. 'This attack exposes the fragility of digital infrastructure in conflict zones,' said a cybersecurity expert based in Aden. 'It also raises questions about who might benefit from destabilizing Houthi-controlled maritime operations.' No group has officially claimed responsibility, though speculation ranges from regional cyber militias to politically motivated actors seeking to undermine Houthi control over Red Sea trade routes. The incident comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with recent Israeli strikes targeting Houthi-held ports and the Houthis issuing threats against vessels linked to Israeli interests. As investigations continue, international shipping companies are being advised to monitor updates from the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) and avoid direct engagement with Houthi-run digital platforms, which have been flagged for potential security risks.
