Sana'a sinks two ships, moving battle deeper into enemy's naval supply lines in support of Gaza
In a continuing qualitative escalation, the Yemeni Armed Forces have expanded the scope of their naval operations, announcing within two days the sinking of two ships belonging to foreign companies that had dealt with the ports of the Zionist entity. This step represents a qualitative shift in the course of the open battle in support of Gaza.
The expansion of the Yemeni naval response represents a direct extension of the escalating aggression against Gaza.
Sana'a has moved to an advanced stage of escalation, pushing the front line deeper into the sea, transforming the shipping lanes linked to the occupation into an open operational field, as part of a precise strategy aimed at breaking the siege and easing the pressure on Palestinians in Gaza.
The sinking of the ship "Magic Seas" marked a turning point in the Yemeni response, as warnings turned into decisive action.
The operation marked the first concentrated naval strike targeting the enemy's logistical support lines, which continues to commit daily massacres against civilians in Gaza and relies on sea lanes to finance its aggression and maintain its siege.
With the same momentum, the ship "ETERNITY C" was sunk while en route to the port of Umm al-Rashrash, in a concentrated strike carried out with cruise and ballistic missiles and a drone boat.
This second strike, carried out within hours, established the principle of directly targeting every supply line serving the occupation, as part of an escalating trend that goes beyond warnings to demonstrate the ability and effectiveness of the response in disrupting the enemy's logistical support.
The escalation of these operations comes amid continuing Israeli crimes against civilians in Gaza. As the scope of the genocide expands, the Yemeni position intensifies. This stance, which is not content with condemnation or statements, is also advancing with direct military action, in a clear effort to support the Palestinians on various fronts.
Official statements issued by the armed forces linked the targeting of ships to the ongoing aggression and blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip. The statements emphasized that every ship operating in the occupied ports falls within the scope of legitimate targeting, and that operations will continue until the massacres cease and restrictions on the besieged Strip are lifted.
The nature of the operations and their chronology indicate that the Yemeni military decision-making process is guided by a clear strategic plan, which begins with monitoring targets, then issuing warnings, and then proceeds to implementation when a violation is proven. This model reflects an organized field capability that responds to the worsening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and the deterioration of regional and international positions.
In contrast to this organized field performance, the map of international positions is unfolding. The major powers continue to provide political and military cover for the occupation, directly contributing to prolonging the Zionist aggression on Gaza, while a broad Arab silence provides additional room for escalation of crimes.
In this context, the Yemeni front is emerging as one of the few practical paths in the region that is truly taking the initiative and clearly contributing to undermining the occupation's capabilities, based on a firm, principled commitment to Palestine, independent of any temporary calculations or external balance considerations.
Amid this international impotence and blatant complicity, the humanitarian situation in Gaza is worsening to unprecedented levels. More than two million Palestinians are subjected to a stifling blockade and the direct targeting of infrastructure, health facilities, and civilian facilities. This is one of the most heinous documented mass crimes in contemporary history, perpetrated by the Zionist war machine without pause or accountability.
Analysts confirm that Sana'a has taken the lead in direct action against the aggression on Gaza, through organized field operations paid for by entities linked to the occupation. These operations effectively impact its maritime and commercial routes, increasing the cost of the war waged by the entity on the Strip without pause.
These results are evident in the images of the war media, which accurately documented the sinking of the Magic Seas ship, demonstrating professionalism in execution and clarity of purpose. Yemeni strikes are no longer mere reactions, but rather strategic tools that strike at the heart of the enemy's interests and impose mounting costs on it at multiple levels.
The Hebrew media, in its coverage, expressed increasing concern about these operations and attempted to isolate them from their true context related to Gaza. However, the photographic documentation and the timing of the attacks reaffirmed the close relationship between the Yemeni operations and popular support for the Palestinian resistance.
The Yemeni position has not changed since the beginning of the escalation. Rather, it has evolved from warning strikes to painful strikes, effectively disrupting some shipping lines linked to the occupation and presenting international companies with a new equation: either stop supporting the enemy or enter the realm of direct threat.
Political observers believe that the field effects of these operations do not stop at the Red Sea borders, but extend to the Palestinian interior, where they provide the resistance in Gaza with strong field and moral support, redistribute pressure on the occupation, and disrupt its strategy in managing the battle.
With the sinking of ships and the expansion of naval strikes, Sanaa is charting a different course in supporting Gaza, based on direct action and field costs, at a time when the oil regimes are hiding behind gray positions.
This is a clear practical message that the time for abandonment is over, and that the Palestinian cause still produces those who will defend it in action, not words, and who will pay the cost of support from their own field without waiting for permission or authorization.

Yemeni Security Forces Arrest Espionage and Recruitment Cell Linked to Houthis in Aden
Aden – Security Belt Forces in the southern Yemeni city of Aden have arrested a covert cell allegedly involved in espionage and recruitment operations on behalf of the Iran-backed Houthi militia. The operation, described as 'high-quality' by officials, marks a significant breakthrough in counterintelligence efforts in the region. The detainees include two senior Houthi commanders—Brigadier General Abdul-Mumin Mohammed Ismail and Captain Abdul-Hakim Abdul-Mumin Ismail—who were apprehended following extensive surveillance and intelligence gathering. Both individuals reportedly held key military and administrative positions within Houthi-controlled areas in Taiz Governorate. Preliminary investigations revealed that the cell was tasked with monitoring the movements of southern military and security officials, as well as recruiting youth for combat roles. Authorities also uncovered evidence of forced child recruitment, a practice condemned internationally as a war crime. The suspects were intercepted at a mobile checkpoint near Aden International Airport after returning from a trip to Egypt. They have since been referred to the specialized criminal prosecution in Aden for further legal proceedings. Security officials emphasized that the arrests reflect ongoing efforts to dismantle Houthi networks operating in southern Yemen and to safeguard national stability. The operation also highlights growing concerns over cross-border coordination and the use of foreign travel to facilitate subversive activities.

Looting and Vandalism Escalate at Archaeological Sites in Ibb Governorate Amid Accusations of Houthi Involvement
Ibb – An alarming wave of attacks on archaeological sites in Yemen's Ibb Governorate has raised serious concerns among heritage experts and locals. More than ten historic locations have recently been subjected to excavation and organized looting, with local sources accusing groups linked to Houthi leaders of direct involvement. Among the most heavily targeted sites is 'Al-'Usaybiyyah' on Mount 'Isam in Al-Sadda District, where an armed group conducted a nighttime dig, triggering clashes with residents who tried to intervene. Other significant sites affected include the historic 'Al-Asadiyah Mosque' in Al-Mashannah, 'Mount Al-Ra'isi' in Dhi Al-Sufal, 'Yafouz Fortress' in Al-Udayn, 'Al-'Arafah Castle' in the ancient city of Dhafar, the site of 'Marit' in Al-Sayani, and the tombs of 'Mufaddal' and 'Al-Haddad' in Al-Sabrah. Eyewitness accounts suggest that armed gangs operate under the protection—either direct or indirect—of Houthi authorities. These groups reportedly smuggle ancient artifacts and manuscripts out of the country through sophisticated trafficking networks, with items appearing in international auctions and black markets. Yemeni heritage experts have warned that these violations pose a grave threat to the country's cultural identity. They are calling for urgent intervention from UNESCO and other international organizations to safeguard what remains of Ibb's historical legacy and to halt the global trade in looted Yemeni antiquities.

Yemen Protests against Iranian Meddling before Security Council
Yemen protested on Thursday against Iran's ongoing flagrant meddling in its internal affairs, as well as its destabilization of its security and stability. Yemeni Foreign Minister Shayea al-Zandani sent a letter to Ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad, current President of the United Nations Security Council and Pakistan's permanent Ambassador to the organization, about Yemen's recent seizure of an Iranian weapons shipment to the Houthi militants this month. Zandani said the shipment was seized at sea and inspections by military experts found that the arms were made by Iran. The incident was the latest in a series of seizures by Yemeni authorities, he added. It demonstrates the Iranian regime's continued interference in Yemeni affairs and blatant violations of the UN Charter, international law and Security Council resolutions. The shipment weighed around 750 tons and held weapons, ammunition and military gear, including Iranian-made Type 358 anti-aircraft missiles, drone components and warheads. In his letter, Zandani said Iranian meddling has allowed the Houthi militias to continue their war against the Yemeni people and carry out attacks against cities and villages, claiming civilian lives. The Houthis have carried out terrorist operations against civilian infrastructure and oil and energy facilities throughout the country, he added. He also noted their attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. The continued smuggling of Iranian weapons to the Houthis and Tehran's offering of military, financial and technical support demonstrates the extent of the direct Iranian interference in Yemen, he remarked. Iran's backing of the Houthis is part of its expansionist and destabilizing agenda in the region, he warned. Moreover, Zandani said the weapons shipment shows that Iran is keen on prolonging the conflict in Yemen, hampering efforts to reach a comprehensive political settlement and end the suffering of the people, and keeping Yemen as a platform to threaten international shipping.
