Yemeni forces claim to have seized Houthi-bound Iranian shipment in Red Sea

Naval forces of Yemen’s Saudi-backed government say they’ve seized a shipment of military components and equipment in the Red Sea, “being supplied by Iran to its Houthi allies”, according to the Yemeni armed forces media centre.

The supplies were captured on August 24 – and subsequent video released of shipment shows components used in the manufacture and development of drones.

Meanwhile, Yemeni forces says they’ve carried out a preemptive strike that destroyed a drone boat being operated by the Houthis in the Red Sea.

The media centre released a video it says shows the drone being being destroyed, “before it could be used to attack vessels”.
