Arab Coalition Releases Footage Showing Destruction of Boats and Weapons-Smuggling Vehicles Used to Supply Houthis

The joint Arab Coalition command released video footage combining night-vision aerial scenes in black and white with daytime clips, showing surveillance of boats at sea, ground vehicles, and facilities, followed by their targeting and smoke rising from the strikes.

The coalition command indicated in the recording that one of the targeted boats at sea was "a means of smuggling weapons by sea to Yemen," and that the ground vehicles struck by airstrikes were "carriers used in weapons smuggling." The recording also included footage showing boats moving near coastal facilities during nighttime hours and weapons being transferred via those boats to Yemeni islands.

The coalition command stated that these operations aim at "severing supply chains organized by criminal networks acting in the service of the Houthis." The recording did not disclose specific casualty figures or the volume of weapons seized or destroyed, nor were precise geographic locations identified for all documented operations.
