"US Foils Iranian Weapons Shipment to Houthis in Yemen"

The US seized a weapons shipment from Iran destined for Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen, including unmanned underwater-surface vehicle components, explosives, and missile launcher assemblies. Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla of CENTCOM condemned Iran's actions, stating that the supply of advanced weapons to the Houthis violates international law and disrupts international shipping. In response to Houthi attacks on commercial ships, US forces downed seven mobile anti-ship missiles and three unmanned aerial vehicles in Yemen.

Escalating Tensions: US Warship Downs Houthi Drone in Yemen

A US warship, the USS Mason, shot down an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) launched from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen. This incident follows a series of attacks on commercial vessels by Houthi drones. The US military considers these drones a threat and has engaged them to protect its forces and assets. The Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, have been engaged in a civil war against a Saudi Arabia-backed coalition since 2014. The US is in discussions with allies to strengthen maritime security in the region.

WFP Suspends Food Distribution in Houthi-Controlled Areas of Yemen Due to Limited Funds

The World Food Programme (WFP) has suspended food distribution in Houthi-controlled areas of northern Yemen due to limited funding and disagreements with the group over how to prioritize aid. The decision comes after failed negotiations to reduce the number of people in need of assistance. Food stocks in these areas are nearly depleted, and even with an immediate agreement, it could take up to four months to resume food assistance due to supply chain disruptions. The WFP will continue other programs as long as it has sufficient funding and cooperation from authorities in Sanaa. Food distribution in government-controlled areas will continue, targeting the most vulnerable families.

US Navy Ship Successfully Shoots Down Houthi Attack Drones in Red Sea

The US Navy destroyer USS Hudner has successfully shot down multiple attack drones over the Red Sea that were launched from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen. This comes just a week after the same ship intercepted another drone heading towards it. While the Pentagon believes the drones were not targeting the ship directly, they pose a concern as they may have been intended for Israel. The US military has not yet attributed responsibility for the recent drone attacks, but previously blamed the Houthis for shooting down an American drone earlier this month.
