Yemeni government forces announced the capture of a Houthi team specializing in operating and controlling drones in the southwestern Taiz province. According to a statement posted on Facebook by the Yemeni Army's 35th Armored Brigade, its forces detained the team on the al-Aqrud–Kahlan front, southeast of Taiz. This capture comes as conflicts in Taiz have escalated this month, worsening humanitarian conditions and displacing thousands due to fighting and restricted supply routes.
