The 2021 occupation of the United States embassy compound in Yemen was the breach of the former US Embassy compound in Sanaa by Iran-backed Houthi militants on 10 November 2021. Twenty five U.S. contractors were taken hostage; the U.S. government declined to confirm how many, but said it was "unceasing in our behind-the-scenes diplomatic efforts to secure their release."
