Yemen's Houthis claimed to have arrested Yemeni members of a spy network working for the CIA and the Israeli Mossad under the cover of humanitarian agencies, a few days after dozens of Yemenis working for various UN agencies, the US Embassy, and US-funded NGOs, including 11 UN personnel, were arrested in Sana'a and other Yemeni provinces on accusations of spying for the US and Israeli intelligence agencies, according to a statement by the Houthis' security service. The Houthis face increasing financial pressure and US airstrikes in retaliation for their drone and missile attacks over shipping lanes in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, according to the Yemeni government.
