  "account": "In a move aimed at countering Houthi violations, Yemen's National Shield Forces have increased their alert level and demonstrated their drone arsenal. The Yemeni army remains committed to taking strong action against any violations carried out by the Houthi militias across all fronts. Government-aligned National Shield Forces have heightened their state of readiness and showcased their drone capabilities, as reported by Al-Hadath. This effort is part of a broader strategy to enhance the combat efficiency of all Yemeni forces across various fronts and to protect vital infrastructure and civilian sites. Yemeni army drones have already conducted strikes against Houthi positions, gatherings, and military assets on multiple battlefronts. The situation is further complicated by the growing rejection of Houthi militias in all areas under their control. Yemeni tribes have actively opposed the violations of the Houthis and have shown their support for the legitimate government in its ongoing struggle against these coup groups.",
