Aden police announced a round of arrests in several city districts, according to Yemen Monitor. The anti-narcotics department and national security carried out anti-drug raids; cannabis (hashish) and pregabalin tablets are mentioned.
Twenty suspects were held on possession, trafficking and use charges in the latest campaign. Police say 31 drug suspects were arrested in four operations in under two weeks. No hashish quantity is given. Non-drug arrests are reported in the same piece.
Why it matters: Use, possession and trafficking are lumped together in one campaign count, so it is impossible to tell how many were users. Yemen is divided between rival authorities.
