Taiz: conflicting accounts of the city's entrances and the Sabr front
Sky News Arabia's Yemen affairs editor said the Houthis have tightened control over Taiz's entrances on all four sides after a strategic point south-west of the city fell. The government's Taiz axis, by contrast, says its forces advanced in al-Sanamat and al-Sarari on the Sabr front, without specifying the extent of the gains. Neither account could be independently verified.
