Overview

• An AP-cited U.N. official said five Yemeni and 15 international employees were detained on Sunday, while 11 others were released after questioning.
• The rebels confiscated phones, servers and computers from the U.N. facility in the Hada neighborhood, according to a second U.N. official.
• The U.N. said it is engaging Houthi authorities to end the detentions swiftly and to regain full control of its facilities in the capital.
• Saturday’s entry by Houthi security forces into a U.N. compound housed 15 international staff who were then reported safe and in contact with their families.
• The actions follow August detentions of 19 U.N. employees and public accusations against U.N. staff that Secretary‑General Antonio Guterres called dangerous, with a separate tanker strike reported in the Gulf of Aden on Saturday.
