Yemeni Security Forces Seize 70 Kilograms of Hashish in Marib
Māʾrib — Yemeni security forces successfully intercepted a shipment of narcotics believed to originate from Houthi-controlled areas, in a significant operation carried out in the city of Marib. Authorities confirmed the seizure of approximately 70 kilograms of hashish, which was hidden inside a vehicle attempting to pass through a security checkpoint east of the city. The operation comes as part of a broader effort by Yemeni law enforcement to combat drug trafficking in conflict-affected regions. Security officials revealed that the confiscated drugs were destined for distribution in government-controlled territories. Preliminary investigations suggest the smugglers were affiliated with networks operating from areas under Houthi influence, where lawlessness has facilitated the growth of illegal trade. The individuals involved have been detained, and legal proceedings are underway. No official statement has yet been made regarding the identities of the suspects. Government sources emphasized that this bust reflects the growing challenges posed by transnational and internal drug trafficking across Yemen, exacerbated by ongoing conflict and weakened border control. Stay tuned for updates as investigations continue.

Yemen's Houthis claims Triple Drone Strikes on Israeli Targets
Sana'a — Yemen's Houthi movement has claimed responsibility for three coordinated drone attacks targeting strategic sites across Israel, marking a significant escalation in their military campaign linked to the ongoing Gaza conflict. According to Houthi military spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the operations struck Tel Aviv, Ashkelon, and the port of Haifa, using unmanned aerial vehicles launched from Yemen. Saree stated that all three attacks 'successfully reached their goals,' describing them as part of the group's continued support for Palestinians in Gaza. The Israeli military confirmed intercepting at least one drone over southern Israel, while local media reported explosions near key infrastructure sites. No casualties have been officially reported, but investigations are ongoing. These strikes come amid the Houthis' broader campaign to disrupt maritime traffic linked to Israel. The group has previously targeted commercial vessels in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb Strait, warning that any company dealing with Israeli ports could face attacks.
