A Shipment of Medicines Destroyed in Aden for "Violating Standards"
Authorities in Yemen's Aden province on Monday destroyed a shipment of medicines, including 425 cartons of Oral rehydration solutions, nutritional supplements, and vitamins belonging to an organization operating in Yemen. Authorities said shipping the medicine was not done according to standards, which was why the concerned authorities decided to get rid of the shipment of medications. Officials indicated that the medicines were shipped in dry iron containers.
A suspected missile attack by Yemen's Houthi group targeted a ship in the Red Sea on Monday, authorities said, the latest assault in their campaign against international shipping in the crucial maritime route. The attack happened off the coast of Mokha, Yemen, the British military's United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said. It urged vessels to exercise caution in the area. There was "an explosion in close proximity to a merchant vessel," the UKMTO said. "Vessel and crew are reported safe." The private security firm Ambrey said a salvo of three missiles targeted a Malta-flagged container ship traveling from Djibouti onward to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. "The vessel was targeted due to its listed operator's ongoing trade with Israel," Ambrey said.
Many Yemeni provinces are expected to see thunder rains, the National Meteorology Center said on Monday, warning against sea turbulence in the next 24 hours. Socotra Archipelago, the coasts of Hadhramout and Al-Mahara will witness thunders and rain. Parts of Sa'ada, Amran, Hajjah, Jawf, Mahweet, Sana'a, Dhamar, Raymah, Ibb, Taiz, Dhalea, Baydha, Lahj and Marib would likely see massive rains, according to the center. Floods and rains have destroyed private and public properties over the past few days. Civilians were reported dead due to floods and heavy rain.
Israeli airstrikes on three houses in the southern Gaza city of Rafah killed at least 25 Palestinians and wounded many others, medics said on Monday, as leaders of Hamas arrived in Cairo for a new round of truce talks with Egyptian and Qatari mediators. In Gaza City, in the north of the Gaza Strip, Israeli warplanes struck two houses, killing at least four people and wounding several people, health officials said. The strike on the other house killed two brothers, they added. The strikes on Rafah, where almost half of Gaza's 2.3 million population have sought refuge from months of Israeli bombardment, unfolded hours before Egypt was expected to host leaders of the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas to discuss prospects for a ceasefire agreement with Israel.
