Yemeni Partners Continue to Interdict Illegal Weapons Systems and Equipment Bound for Iran-backed Houthis
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) congratulates the Yemeni National Resistance Forces (NRF), led by Gen. Tareq Saleh, for displaying their capabilities and commitment to stop the proliferation of weapons and illicit material bound to Iran-backed Houthis.
On Aug. 6, Yemeni security forces, in coordination with the Public Prosecutor and Port of Aden authorities, seized a shipment containing drones, jet propulsion systems, wireless devices, and advanced control components bound for Iranian-backed Houthis. The cargo, which was destined for Al Hodeidah, Yemen, was rerouted to Aden and discovered during a joint inspection by counterterrorism, customs, and police units.
