Russia is recruiting hundreds of Yemeni Houthis for the war against Ukraine. The men were brought to Russia through a shadowy human trafficking operation, according to the Financial Times. Yemeni recruits who traveled to Russia told the Financial Times that they were promised high-paying jobs and even Russian citizenship.

The Iran-backed group launched drones, fired missiles at two US warships in an hours-long attack, the Pentagon says.

A suspected attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels has targeted a commercial ship traveling through the southern reaches of the Red Sea, though it caused no damage nor injuries.

Houthi spokesperson Yahya Sarea had earlier said the first operation targeted a US aircraft carrier in the Arabian sea with a number of missiles and drones.

A multiple-missile attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels on two US warships has been thwarted, the Pentagon has said. At least eight drones, five anti-ship ballistic missiles and three anti-ship cruise missiles were aimed at the USS Stockdale and the USS Spruance on Monday.

The Financial Times has reported that Russia has been recruiting Houthi rebels from Yemen to fight Ukraine. Young men from Yemen, who travelled to Russia, told the Financial Times that they were promised high-salaried employment and Russian citizenship.
