  "summary": "Yemen's anti-Houthi National Resistance Forces (NRF) have announced the discovery of bodies of Somali Al Shabab fighters among Houthi casualties on the west coast. The NRF's military media confirmed the fighters' identities through documents and belongings found on their bodies, indicating their affiliation with Al Shabab. This discovery highlights the increasing coordination between the Iran-backed Houthi group and armed factions in the Horn of Africa, as detailed in a recent report by the Century Foundation. The report suggests that the Houthis have built smuggling and training networks across the Red Sea into the Horn of Africa, deepening ties with Al Shabab, a group linked to Al Qaeda.",
