Armed Forces Target Lod Airport in Occupied Jaffa
Sana'a - Saba: Triumphing for the oppressed Palestinian people and their dear Mujahideen, and in response to the crimes of genocide and starvation perpetrated by the Zionist enemy against our people in the Gaza Strip... The missile force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a qualitative military operation targeting Lod Airport in the occupied Yaffa region using a "Palestine 2" hypersonic ballistic missile. The operation successfully achieved its goal, thanks to Allah, and caused millions of herds of usurping Zionists to flee to shelters and suspending airport operations. The Yemeni Armed Forces are monitoring developments on the ground in Gaza and affirm their full confidence in the ability of the heroic Mujahideen from all factions to thwart the enemy's moves and foil its plan to occupy Gaza and displace its people, Allah willing, just as they foiled the previous aggressive military operation, named "Chariots of Gideon," and its predecessors. With Allah's help, we will remain with you and by your side until victory, utilizing all our available capabilities. We will escalate our support operations until the aggression against you stops and the siege is lifted. Sana'a, Safar 20, 1447 AH August 14, 2025 AD

Yemen : Grundberg Voices Alarm Over Houthi Escalation, Urges Proactive and Pragmatic Measures
UN Special Envoy for Yemen Hans Grundberg has expressed deep concern over the Houthis' escalation against commercial shipping, and along frontlines with government forces, stressing the need for 'proactive and pragmatic' steps to pave the way for peace. Briefing the UN Security Council, proactive and pragmatic Grundberg said his recent efforts had focused on reducing tensions on the ground, establishing a pathway for talks between the parties, and boosting regional and international support for stability in Yemen. While frontlines had been relatively quiet, he noted troubling incidents, most notably a major July 25 attack on the Al-Aleb front in Saada governorate, which caused heavy casualties on both sides. He pointed to Houthi military build-ups around the port city of Hodeidah as evidence of the need for effective de-escalation and security dialogue. The UN-facilitated Military Coordination Committee, he said, remains vital in discussing ways to reduce tensions and prepare for future ceasefire negotiations. Grundberg stressed that commitment to the December 2023 roadmap requires ongoing confidence-building measures and improvements to daily life. He praised civil society efforts to open key roads, including one linking Al-Bayda and Abyan provinces, and called for the swift reopening of other vital routes to ease travel and trade. On the economy, he warned Yemen urgently needs reforms to ensure the flow of goods and services, adding that continued escalation and economic fragmentation 'benefit no one' and weigh heavily on families and the private sector. He commended the Central Bank and government in Aden for stabilizing the currency and prices of basic goods, expressing hope this marks the start of a sustainable recovery. On the other hand, the UN envoy criticized Houthi unilateral moves, including issuing new 50-rial coins and 200-rial banknotes, as deepening the fragmentation of Yemen's currency and complicating future unification talks. Dialogue, he insisted, is the only path to lasting solutions. The envoy underscored the need for full compliance with the UN arms embargo, citing the recent interception of a large weapons shipment from Iran to the Houthis. He urged the group to allow the immediate return of surviving crew members from the MV Rubymar, sunk in the Red Sea last month in attacks claimed by the Houthis. Linking the escalation to the Gaza conflict, Grundberg warned Yemen must be shielded from regional turmoil. Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping, missile strikes on Israel, and Israeli responses have, he said, devastated port facilities under Houthi control, tripled cargo discharge times in Al-Salif, and sharply reduced vessel traffic. He also condemned the continued detention of 23 UN staff and other humanitarian and diplomatic workers, calling it 'unacceptable' and demanding their unconditional release. A sustainable solution for Yemen, he said, is 'not only possible but urgent.'

Yemen bans use of foreign currency in local trade
Yemen's internationally-recognized government announced on Tuesday that all commercial transactions within areas under its control must be conducted using the Yemeni rial, prohibiting the use of foreign currencies for domestic trade and services. According to the state-run Saba news agency, the decision prohibits foreign currency use in transactions like tuition fees, medical expenses, rent and travel tickets, where foreign payment is not inherently required, reports citing foreign media. Ministers and provincial governors are tasked with enforcing the ban and reporting progress to the prime minister on a regular basis, Saba reported. This measure aims to strengthen the rial's sovereignty and stability. Currency traders in Aden told Xinhua that the rial surged to 1,617 per US dollar in government-controlled areas on Monday, a 40-percent recovery from nearly 2,900 weeks earlier. Yemen faces an unprecedented financial crisis after more than two years without oil revenue, which constitutes 70 percent of government income. The crisis deepened following Houthi attacks on oil export facilities in southern Yemen in late 2022, and amid the prolonged conflict since 2014. The war-torn Arab nation remains divided between the internationally-recognised government based in Aden and the Houthis that control the capital Sanaa and northern regions.
