Two Girls Killed by Houthi Landmine in Yemen's Al Bayda Governorate

Two teenage girls were killed on Saturday when a landmine planted by the Houthi militia exploded in the Al-Ghoul area of Naaman District, Al Bayda Governorate, central Yemen According to the Yemeni Mine Observatory, the victims were identified as Aisha Hussein Al-Salihi, 14, and Intisar Abdulrab Al-Salihi, 17. The two girls were reportedly herding sheep when the explosion occurred in an area heavily contaminated with landmines and unexploded ordnance. The Observatory noted that Al-Ghoul has witnessed multiple similar incidents in recent years, including one that killed Intisar's mother in a previous landmine blast. Al Bayda is among several Yemeni governorates severely affected by landmines allegedly planted by the Houthi militia along roads, in farmland, and near civilian areas. Over the past decade, the widespread use of anti-personnel and anti-vehicle mines has resulted in thousands of civilian casualties, many of them women and children.

US praises Yemeni forces led by Tariq Saleh for foiling Houthi weapons smuggling attempt

The US has praised Yemeni forces led by Gen Tariq Saleh for intercepting a shipment of weaponry allegedly smuggled to Houthi rebels. US Central Command said security forces confiscated drones, jet propulsion systems, wireless devices, and advanced control components on August 6 from the Port of Aden. The cargo, bound for the Houthi-controlled port of Hodeidah, was uncovered during a joint inspection by counterterrorism, customs, and police units. Officials said the operation was co-ordinated with the public prosecutor and port authorities. Led by Gen Saleh, Yemen's National Resistance Forces (NRF), which carried out the operation, is a coalition of anti-Houthi forces loyal to the internationally recognised government. Gen Saleh, a nephew of the late president Ali Abdullah Saleh, is an army commander. He is a member of the presidential council of Yemen and played a leading role in coastal battles against the Houthis before becoming a central figure in the Red Sea forces. The US accuses Tehran of smuggling advanced weapons to the Houthis, a charge Iran denies. In recent years, US and allied naval patrols have intercepted shipments of Iranian-made drones, cruise missile components, and small arms believed to be headed to the Houthis. Experts said these supplies have enabled the rebels to expand long-range strikes on shipping lanes and regional targets, including western warships in the Red Sea.

Yemen Forces Interdict Illegal Weapons Systems and Equipment Bound for Iran-backed Houthis

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) congratulates the Yemeni National Resistance Forces (NRF), led by Gen. Tareq Saleh, for displaying their capabilities and commitment to stop the proliferation of weapons and illicit material bound to Iran-backed Houthis. On Aug. 6, Yemeni security forces, in coordination with the Public Prosecutor and Port of Aden authorities, seized a shipment containing drones, jet propulsion systems, wireless devices, and advanced control components bound for Iranian-backed Houthis. The cargo, which was destined for Al Hodeidah, Yemen, was rerouted to Aden and discovered during a joint inspection by counterterrorism, customs, and police units. According to Yemeni authorities, the shipment was part of a broader smuggling network that uses the Houthi-controlled port of Al Hodeidah to funnel advanced military equipment to regional terrorist organizations. The seizure supports United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR) and reinforces Yemen's commitment to regional stability and maritime security. Adm. Brad Cooper, Commander, U.S. Central Command, praised the action saying, "For the second time in three weeks, we commend the legitimate government forces of Yemen who continue to interdict the flow of Iranian munitions and equipment bound for the Houthis. This seizure highlights Iran's ongoing role as a deliberate malicious actor in the region. Limiting the free flow of Iranian support to the Houthis is critical to regional security, stability, and freedom of navigation.'
