In early August 2024, the Yemeni Ministry of Interior had already announced the arrest of a 13-member Houthi cell in Wadi Hadramout, following increased attempts by the group to infiltrate liberated areas under the control of the internationally recognized government.
Throughout 2024, Yemeni authorities reported dismantling approximately four cells in Wadi Hadramout and Aden, along with others discovered on the western coast, in Taiz, and Marib, which were not officially disclosed.
During 2022 and 2023, the Houthis suffered several setbacks from Al-Mahra in the east to Aden in the south and Hodeidah in the west, with the neutralization of dozens of cells, including 33 espionage and security cells.
