Houthis acknowledge a 500 kg explosives shipment seized by Lebanese authorities

Disputed · Lebanon, Lebanon (approximate) · 2026-10-15 22:29 UTC

A Middle East Eye live-blog item, relaying the Houthis, says a 500-kilogram explosives shipment belonging to them was seized by Lebanese authorities the previous week. The item's headline instead refers to confiscated Hezbollah explosives and a Rubio call with the Lebanese president, and no second source appears among the claims.
