Yemen Foils Drone Shipment Bound for Houthis via Aden Port
Aden – Yemeni counterterrorism forces have successfully intercepted a shipment of military-grade drones and weapon components en route to Houthi-controlled territories, according to an official statement released Wednesday. The operation, conducted in coordination with the Attorney General and Free Zone Security, targeted a commercial vessel arriving from China that had diverted its course from Hodeidah Port—under Houthi control—due to recent Israeli airstrikes on the area. Upon arrival at Aden Port, security teams identified and seized suspicious containers containing: - Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) - Advanced control units - Wireless communication devices - Assorted military equipment and spare parts Intelligence-Led Operation Authorities acted on precise intelligence indicating the vessel's cargo was intended for Houthi forces. The inspection, carried out on August 2, involved teams from customs, counterterrorism units, and port police, all operating under the supervision of the Specialized Criminal Prosecution Office. Evidence of Organized Smuggling Network Preliminary investigations confirmed that Hodeidah Port is being used as a hub for systematic arms smuggling to the Houthis. Officials stated that the seized shipment is part of a broader network supplying advanced military technologies to the group. A detailed report is being prepared for submission to the UN Security Council's Sanctions Committee, outlining the shipment's origin and its links to Houthi operatives. Strategic Implications This interception marks a significant blow to Houthi efforts to bolster their drone capabilities and underscores the growing threat of maritime arms trafficking in the region. Security officials praised the swift coordination among agencies and reaffirmed their commitment to safeguarding Yemen's ports from illicit military activity.

Houthis Sanction 64 Global Shipping Firms for Violating Maritime Blockade on Israel
Sanaa – Houthi militia announced the imposition of sanctions on 64 international shipping companies accused of violating the maritime blockade imposed on Israel. The announcement follows what the group described as repeated warnings to vessel owners whose ships entered Israeli ports despite prior notifications. According to the HOCC statement, the companies were notified of potential penalties before their vessels docked at Israeli ports. Due to their failure to comply, the Houthis declared that the entire fleets of these companies are now banned from navigating the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandeb Strait, Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea, and may be targeted by Yemeni armed forces wherever reachable. The sanctions, the statement emphasized, apply regardless of the companies' nationalities. The HOCC warned that any future violations would result in similar punitive measures and that companies ignoring pre-sanction alerts would bear full responsibility for consequences. The move is part of the Houthis' broader campaign to pressure Israel to end its military operations and blockade on Gaza. The group claims that these measures are intended to disrupt Israeli maritime trade and compel international actors to intervene. The announcement comes amid escalating tensions in the region, with the Houthis intensifying their military posture and declaring the start of a new phase of their blockade strategy. They have urged global shipping firms to sever ties with Israel to avoid becoming targets of their operations.
