SYRIA
The Russian military says it downed two drones heading toward its Khmeimim airbase in northwestern Syria on Wednesday. There’s no indication of any casualties. Rebels in nearby Idlib province have been known to launch drone attacks on Khmeimim, though while I haven’t been keeping track my sense is it’s been several months at least since they last attempted such an operation.
YEMEN
A new report produced for the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs argues that UN relief efforts in Yemen are of “unacceptably poor quality.” The report cites a number of deficiencies, from shoddy construction in displaced persons camps to poorly equipped medical facilities to an overemphasis on the security of UN workers to the detriment of outreach to Yemenis in need, particularly those in isolated areas. The report comes as Yemen’s ceasefire is just two weeks away from expiring, which will make make it impossible to address the shortcomings identified in the report.
