Yemeni Gov't Foils Houthi Plot to Assassinate UN Envoy to Yemen
Aden — Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council has revealed the disruption of a Houthi-linked assassination plot targeting UN Special Envoy Hans Grundberg, in what officials describe as a grave attempt to destabilize liberated regions and undermine international confidence in the Yemeni government. The announcement was made by Chairman Rashad Al-Alimi during a meeting with European Union ambassadors in Aden. Al-Alimi stated that the cell behind the plot was uncovered in recent weeks and is believed to be responsible for a string of high-profile assassinations, including the killing of World Food Programme employee Moayad Hamidi in Taiz, as well as attacks on journalists, activists, and military leaders. Security sources say the cell operated under the direction of Amjad Khaled, a former military commander allegedly tied to senior Houthi figures. The group reportedly coordinated with extremist networks to carry out targeted killings and spread chaos in government-controlled areas. Neither the UN nor Grundberg has issued an official response to the allegations. However, the news has sparked concern among diplomatic circles, especially given the UN envoy's central role in facilitating peace negotiations and humanitarian efforts in Yemen.

Eritrea Releases 29 Yemeni Fishermen After Days in Detention
Hodeida — A group of 29 Yemeni fishermen returned safely to the Al Khawkhah port in Yemen's western province of Hodeida after being released by Eritrean authorities, following several days of detention in disputed territorial waters. According to local sources, the fishermen were apprehended while conducting routine fishing operations near the Red Sea coast. Their boats and equipment were confiscated, and they were reportedly subjected to harsh treatment and poor detention conditions during their captivity. This incident is part of a recurring pattern of detentions by Eritrean forces, which Yemeni officials have condemned as violations of maritime sovereignty. Over the past year, dozens of similar cases have been documented, with fishermen facing arbitrary arrests, forced labor, and economic losses due to the seizure of their vessels. Yemeni authorities have called on Eritrea to respect international maritime laws and urged for diplomatic engagement to prevent future violations. Human rights organizations have also expressed concern over the treatment of detainees and the impact on coastal communities that rely heavily on fishing for their livelihood. The released fishermen were welcomed by family members and local officials, though many expressed frustration over the lack of protection and accountability.

Yemeni Forces Intercept Massive Iranian Arms Shipment Bound for Houthis
Aden — Yemeni government-aligned forces have announced the seizure of a 750-ton shipment of Iranian weapons allegedly destined for the Houthi rebel group, marking one of the largest interdictions in the region's decade-long conflict. The operation, led by Brigadier General Tariq Saleh, commander of the National Resistance Forces and member of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council, was carried out in the Red Sea following intelligence surveillance. The seized cargo reportedly includes naval and aerial missile systems, air defense equipment, modern radar systems, drones, anti-tank missiles, sniper rifles, and surveillance devices. Saleh described the interception as a 'direct blow' to Iran's alleged support for the Houthis, accusing Tehran of attempting to destabilize Yemen and undermine its republican institutions. Iran has consistently denied supplying arms to the Houthis, despite repeated discoveries of Iranian-made weaponry in previous seizures. This latest haul adds to a growing list of intercepted shipments, with Yemeni forces claiming to have blocked eight arms deliveries since early 2024. The Houthis, who have controlled Yemen's capital Sanaa since 2014, have been involved in recent attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea, escalating regional tensions. The Yemeni military has released video footage showing the seized weapons, including anti-ship missiles and Type 358 anti-aircraft systems, similar to those used in previous Houthi drone and missile attacks. International observers view the seizure as a significant development in curbing arms flow to the Houthis, amid ongoing efforts to stabilize Yemen and prevent further escalation in the region.
