The Yemeni National Army has unveiled a new one-way unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) called 'Eiban,' according to reports. The development reflects continued military technological advancements in the Yemeni conflict.
The Yemeni National Army, the military force of the internationally recognized government, revealed the new drone platform. One-way UAVs are designed for attack missions, carrying an explosive payload to a target without returning. The unveiling adds to the growing arsenal of drone capabilities deployed by various factions in Yemen's multi-sided conflict. The Houthi movement, which controls much of northern Yemen, has also developed and fielded a range of drones. The new 'Eiban' drone's specifications and operational status have not been detailed.
