A Yemeni armed group seized more than 750 tons of arms bound from Iran to the Houthis, according to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). The seized weapons included cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, and anti-aircraft missiles, as well as warheads, seekers, drone engines, air defense equipment, radar systems, and communications equipment. The group, the Yemeni National Resistance Forces (NRF), is led by a nephew of Yemen's late former president Ali Abdullah Saleh and is not part of Yemen's internationally recognized government, although it opposes the Houthis.
