Yemeni Naval Forces Intercept Smuggled Weapons Shipment in Red Sea
Aden — Naval units of the Yemeni National Resistance Forces (NRF) successfully intercepted a vessel carrying a medium-sized shipment of smuggled weapons allegedly bound for Houthi militants. The operation, conducted near the international shipping corridor in the Red Sea, was based on prior intelligence provided by the NRF's military intelligence division. Upon boarding the suspicious vessel, Yemeni marines discovered a cache of armaments including anti-tank grenade launchers, sniper rifles, RPGs, and machine gun belts packed in sealed containers. The crew of the vessel was detained for investigation, and the ship was escorted to a secure location for further inspection. According to NRF officials, the seizure is part of ongoing efforts to curb illicit arms trafficking that threatens maritime security and regional stability.

Yemen's War Pushes Women to the Streets
Sana'a — As Yemen's civil war grinds into its tenth year, the country's women are bearing the brunt of a conflict that has decimated livelihoods, shattered families, and left millions in desperate need. With male breadwinners either killed, displaced, or conscripted into armed groups, thousands of Yemeni women have been forced into begging to survive. In cities like Taiz, Aden, and Hudaydah, women—many from the marginalized Muhammasheen community—can be seen on street corners, clutching infants and pleading for food or money. Their plight reflects the collapse of Yemen's social safety net and the erosion of tribal protections that once offered limited shelter from exploitation. 'The war has stripped women of dignity,' said Huda Saif, a local activist. 'Begging is no longer a choice—it's a last resort.' According to humanitarian reports, incidents of harassment and gender-based violence against women beggars have surged, with many facing abuse from armed groups and local authorities. The lack of law enforcement and judicial oversight has created an environment of impunity, leaving victims without recourse. A Crisis of Survival The UN estimates that over 9.6 million women and girls in Yemen require urgent humanitarian assistance. Aid cuts and restricted access have worsened conditions, forcing many into dangerous coping mechanisms—including street begging, coerced labor, and early marriage. 'Women walk for hours under scorching heat to collect food rations,' said a spokesperson from Forgotten Women, a UK-based NGO. 'Some carry children in their arms, others return empty-handed.' In some cases, women-led households have resorted to selling personal belongings or engaging in informal labor markets, often under exploitative conditions. The rise in begging is not only a symptom of poverty but also a reflection of Yemen's fractured social fabric. Calls for Action Human rights organizations are urging international donors and the Yemeni government to prioritize gender-sensitive aid programs and restore safe spaces for women. Activists stress the need for legal reforms to protect vulnerable groups and ensure accountability for abuses. 'The women of Yemen are not just victims—they are survivors,' said Dr. Miriam Tal, a regional expert on gender and conflict. 'But without urgent intervention, their resilience may not be enough.'

Hamas blesses heroic operation west Tulkarm
Gaza - Saba: The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, on Thursday praised the heroic operation carried out at the Beit Lid junction near the Kfar Yona settlement, west of Tulkarm, which resulted in the injury of nine Israeli soldiers. In a statement received by the Yemeni news agency Saba, the movement affirmed that this operation comes as a natural response to the crimes of the Zionist enemy, from the desecration of holy sites to the crimes of genocide and starvation in Gaza, to the killing of children in the West Bank. Over the past 48 hours, the enemy committed a heinous crime against four young men, the most recent of whom were martyred Ahmed Ali Asaad Ashirat al-Salah (15 years old) and martyr Muhammad Khaled Alian Issa (17 years old), who were killed by enemy bullets yesterday evening in the town of al-Khader in the Bethlehem Governorate. It also stressed that this heroic operation reaffirms that the flame of resistance in the occupied West Bank will not be extinguished, and that the aggression will not bring security to the enemy on Palestinian land. Rather, the resistance will continue to respond to massacres with painful blows. Hamas called for the continuation of resistance operations and the escalation of strikes against the Zionist enemy, thwarting all its plans aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause and implementing annexation and displacement projects.
