Yemen security forces dismantle Houthi cells in Aden and Lahj
The Yemeni Ministry of Interior announced the dismantling of several Houthi terrorist cells in Aden, Lahj, and Abyan during September. These cells reportedly planned to target military and security leaders, as well as vital infrastructure and logistics lines. One specific network of 18 members in Lahj was identified as having received specialized training in explosive devices and surveillance.
Separately, human rights organizations have issued urgent warnings regarding the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Taiz. The ongoing Houthi siege and increased shelling have severely restricted the movement of food, medicine, and fuel. Officials report that the blockade is threatening the lives of civilians and hindering access to critical medical services, including emergency care and surgeries.
