Twelve UN staff freed by Houthis in Yemen; over 50 still detained.

Twelve UN international staff members detained by Houthi rebels in Sanaa, Yemen, were released and flown out on a humanitarian flight, with some relocating to Jordan. The release follows a raid on a UN compound where 15 staff, including five Yemenis, were detained, along with over 50 others from diplomatic missions and civil society groups. The Houthis seized communications equipment and accused some staff of spying, claims the UN denies. Despite the release, more than 50 personnel remain detained. The UN continues to urge their immediate and unconditional release, with Secretary-General Antonio Guterres engaging regional leaders to secure their freedom.
