Yemen Military Accuses Houthis of Using Iranian Weapons Near Red Sea
The Yemeni army has revealed that the Houthi group is using advanced Iranian surface-to-air weapons that pose a threat to civil aviation on international air routes south of the Red Sea. This is evidenced by the launch of "Jawla" missiles equipped with thermal tracking technologies capable of operating for up to 25 minutes, creating a direct danger to civilian aircraft and humanitarian organizations. Additionally, the army announced the death of 10 of its soldiers during clashes with the Houthis, as fighting intensifies across multiple fronts in Yemen, particularly in Lahj and Taiz governorates, with the Houthis controlling strategic positions. This escalation has been ongoing since July 2026. The Yemeni army confirmed that the use of these weapons is part of Iranian threats and warned of the danger they pose to international air navigation, calling on relevant authorities to take measures to address the issue.
