Aden (South24):
The Central Bank of Yemen in Aden warned on Wednesday of the severe repercussions of the economic deterioration in the country, noting that the Houthi attacks on oil facilities and the disruption of oil and gas exports have exacerbated the financial crisis which is reflected in the dire living and service conditions.
The bank said in its statement: 'The Central Bank has repeatedly warned since the escalation of Houthi attacks on the state's revenue sectors, most notably the oil sector in October 2022, of the serious consequences and ominous consequences of the militia attacks.'
The Central Bank said that it had previously provided 'many necessary solutions to reduce the effects and avoid bottlenecks in salaries and services,' but these solutions 'did not receive an appropriate response from the relevant government agencies, but rather the use of important sovereign resources that contributed to providing the minimum level of services was disrupted.'
The bank called on the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) and the government to provide the necessary support to enable it to perform its duties in protecting the stability of the national currency, and to redirect all revenues to the state's general account in the Central Bank.
The Central Bank's statement, which came in unusually harsh language, reflects an implicit acknowledgment of its declining ability to confront the economic crisis without effective government support, amid a deteriorating financial environment and the absence of sustainable solutions to stop the collapse of the Yemeni riyal and achieve economic stability in the country.
Earlier today, a banking source told South24 Center that the Central Bank in Aden has suspended the buying and selling of foreign currencies in exchange shops and companies in a late move to stop the decline of the Yemeni rial to a historic low against the US dollar (1 dollar = 2,360 rials).
A media source at the Central Bank confirmed the accuracy of this information to South24 Center. He said that it is a measure to stop the collapse of the Yemeni rial.

Weapons Shipment Seized at Yemen's Aden Port
A joint task force of Yemeni security, judicial, and presidential officials on Tuesday began investigating a suspicious shipment seized at the port of Aden containing drone components and espionage equipment, as a UN report warned of an emerging arms trafficking network linking Yemen's Houthi militias with al-Qaeda and Somalia's al-Shabaab. Local sources in Aden reported that the Port Security Directorate in the free zone had recently alerted the public prosecution to a container shipment found to contain fully assembled drone storage systems and jet propulsion devices. Anti-terrorism units were immediately dispatched to the site alongside prosecutors to secure the cargo and begin legal procedures. According to the sources, the cache was discovered during routine inspection operations, with no accompanying documents identifying its origin or intended destination. Officials have so far declined to provide further details, but speculation is mounting that the shipment was destined for the Iran-aligned Houthi militias, which have long relied on smuggled weapons and military supplies from Tehran. Sources dismissed reports suggesting the shipment was intercepted at sea, saying it likely entered the port via official channels with forged paperwork in an apparent attempt to bypass inspections - an effort thwarted by port authorities and vigilant security forces. The latest seizure comes weeks after Yemen's National Resistance Forces intercepted a major Iranian weapons shipment near Hanish Island in the Red Sea. That cache reportedly weighed 750 tons and included various types of military equipment, all bound for the Houthis.

Three convicted in Riyadh for commercial concealment in mobile accessories trade
Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — The Ministry of Commerce has publicly named two Saudi citizens and a Yemeni resident after they were convicted of engaging in a commercial concealment scheme involving the sale of mobile phone accessories in Riyadh. According to a ruling by the Criminal Court in Riyadh, the Saudi business owner and his agent were found guilty of allowing the Yemeni resident to operate the business independently, without a foreign investment license. The resident was granted full control over the establishment's operations and was found to have financial dealings far exceeding his declared income as a sales representative, transferring illicit profits abroad. The court imposed a SR15,000 fine to be shared among the convicted individuals, revoked the business license, cancelled the commercial registration, and ordered the business to be liquidated. It also mandated the collection of all due taxes, zakat, and government fees. The convicted Saudis were banned from engaging in commercial activity, while the Yemeni national will be deported and barred from re-entering the Kingdom for work. The Ministry of Commerce reaffirmed that under the Anti-Concealment Law, penalties can reach up to five years in prison and SR5 million in fines, along with the seizure of illicit funds once a final verdict is issued.

‘Projectile' fired at Israel from Yemen, intercepted by military
A projectile launched toward Israel from Yemen was intercepted on Tuesday, the Israeli military said, after air-raid sirens sounded across parts of the country. 'Following the sirens that sounded a short while ago in several areas in Israel, a missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted by the IAF,' the military said in a post on social media platform X. The Houthi militia, which controls Yemen's capital Sanaa and large parts of the country, is part of a regional alliance against Israel backed by Iran. That alliance also includes groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. Since the outbreak of the war in Gaza on October 7, 2023, the Houthis have repeatedly launched missiles at Israel — most of which have been intercepted — and targeted ships they claim are linked to Israel, saying they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians. In response, Israel has carried out multiple airstrikes on Houthi-controlled infrastructure, including ports in western Yemen and the airport in Sanaa.
