Allright, lets go through the Israeli strikes from yesterday.
1 - Dhahban power station, Sana'a: One fuel truck and part of the cooling array (I believe) destroyed, bit of shrapnel damage to other stuff. 15.430438°, 44.186791° Image
Image 2 - Hezyaz power station, Sana'a: Much more damage, 1 of the main fuel tanks burnt, other some shrapnel damage, both sets of transformers destroyed. Image

To get what's being built at Rayyan airport near Mukalla I've ordered some high-resolution imagery Pleiades imagery from the 13th of October. Findings on that imagery will be presented in this thread. Thread on lower res imagery: Firstly a closer look at what we could already make out on lower resolution imagery, with mostly a new apron with three hangars, four new shelters on the main apron (walled of from the rest with shipping containers), as well as an expansion to a base south of the runway.

I missed it for a bit but a rather interesting drone crashed in Al-Mahrah on August 6th.
It seems to be a Boeing Insitu Integrator Extended Range. I've color-coded some of the debris with their origin. With the crash near the town of Qishn also came some geolocatable photos. First one without any debris allowed for an approximate area.

Translation from Houthi: we don't know where our own mines are. Buried cluster bombs... Seriously? 1 - Coalition use of cluster bombs post 2017 is extremely rare at the most, likely stopped altogether. Fighting hadn't reached the mentioned areas by then. Any remaining bombs from the rarer air raids prior to that would be rare.

Something's that bothered me for long time now is the proper identification for the Houthi Rujum UAV. whilst it's obviously a modified commercial, the one I've named until now, Yangda's YD6-1000S, didn't have the right shape for the arms, nor the right attachment point for them. A lot of searching later, I think I've got it now, Longyi Aviation's LY-866. Everything just matches much better, except for the colour scheme, two red arms and four white, which all 3 'Rujum' UAVs lost by the Houthis seem to have had.

Time for my monthly #Yemen UAV roundup for August 2021. As always claimed means no visual confirmation.
1st - A Qasef is downed in Rabaha district, south Marib 2nd - Houthi forces shoot down a large quadcopter described as a reconnaissance drone in Hudaydah governorate. It's actually modified to drop 120mm mortal shells.

There's a lot of interesting stuff in here, but Thailand being used as a waypoint for Iranian smuggling to Yemen is something special. This is allegedly done since goods from Thailand are subject to way less suspicion. Other countries mentioned are far less surprising, Oman, Djibouti and Somalia. Some other parts of the report are (largely) based of the 'confessions' of smugglers aressted by West Coast Forces in May 2020.
