Houthi Militants Detail Iran/Syria Training in Explosives, Attacks

Three Houthi militants, apprehended by National Security forces in Yemen's temporary capital of Aden, have confessed to undergoing military and intelligence training in Iran and Syria, focusing on the manufacturing of explosives and the execution of armed attacks.

A video released by the National Security forces revealed statements from one of the militants detailing his travel to Iran for a training course, followed by another in Syria, as part of the rehabilitation programs undertaken for the Houthi group.

The confessions included specifics about training received by another element in the fabrication of explosive devices, alongside combat drills that involved storming hills and military positions, utilizing light and medium weaponry, and conducting offensive operations.

These testimonies shed light on the nature of the military and intelligence activities to which the detained elements were subjected, as well as the recruitment, conscription, and training networks linked to the Iran-backed Houthi militia.

The release of this footage is part of the National Security forces' ongoing efforts to track down cells associated with the Houthi militia and expose their activities and reach. These efforts have reportedly led to the foiling of plots targeting Aden's security and vital infrastructure.

The forces affirmed their continued operations to pursue these cells and thwart any threats against the temporary capital and the safety of its citizens, noting that legal procedures are being completed for the detained individuals.
