Excerpt from the Detecting and countering misuse of AI: September 2026/GTG-87001: Disrupting a Yemen-based guided weapons engineering cell using Claude to develop guidance software Summary: We identified a cell of threat actors based in northern Yemen running three weapons development 🧵 1 of 2

Important: Houthis Used @claudeai @AnthropicAI for Missile Programming Excerpt from the Detecting and countering misuse of Al: September 2026 GTG-87001: Disrupting a Yemen-based guided weapons engineering cell using Claude to develop guidance software Summary We identified a cell of threat actors based in northern Yemen running three weapons development programs: a guided rocket that used a commodity phone-class flight computer with final-phase homing guidance; a multistage ballistic missile with a stated range goal above 2,000 km; and a multi-variant missile (referred to as the "R2000" set) that included a hypersonic glide vehicle variant.The actors used Claude Code in place of human software engineers to develop the guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) software that steers and stabilizes a flying vehicle. For example, they used Claude to integrate an open-source autopilot onto a phone-class flight computer, writing the control and position estimation software, tuning the control settings, running a firmware build pipeline, and performing a flight simulation. The actors managed several Claude instances at once, assigning each one a role, much as a lead would delegate work on a small engineering team: the actors tasked one instance with writing the code, another with research, and a third with reviewing the code the first instance produced. Our safeguards blocked many of their requests, but not all of them. The actors used a variety of tactics to evade our safeguards, including hiding their goals and the products the software was meant for, and they split their work across multiple sessions so no single session revealed their full intent.These actors carried out a sustained effort to develop guided weapons, including using Claude to design guidance software. We do not have evidence the actors succeeded in fielding an operational device; but they did test-fire a guided rocket. This field test appears to have failed: within hours, the actors returned to Claude to work out why it failed. We identified this activity as part of our internal investigations into suspected weapons development. We banned accounts associated with the actors and shared threat information with public- and private-sector partners to mitigate risks posed by the actors. Nevertheless, we have evidence that the actors had already built an offline simulation toolkit that does not rely on Claude or other engineering computing environments such as MATI ARChart shows: Case 1: Development Guided-weapons engineering cell on the systems development lifecycle Several boxes show 1) Concept of Ops; 2) validation/Ops; 3) System architecture; 4) system verification; 5) detailed design; 6) integration & Test; and, final 7) Implementation & Build

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) told a federal judge Friday it’s appealing a scorching court order against President Donald Trump’s attempt to sue himself to create an almost $2 billion fund for his political allies. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Attorney General Blanche said Trump’s ‘weaponization fund’ was dead. Now DOJ is appealing

The DOJ said Friday it's appealing a judge's finding that Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against his own administration was "improper."

Russia has been using Claude AI in cyberattacks against Ukraine and Europe in recent months, targeting various government ministries and the WhatsApp accounts of high-level officials, Anthropic wrote in a Sept. 10 report.
