Quiet window on the ground: Islah accused of freeing convicts to fight in Taiz
We found no new confirmed battlefield development in this short window. Most coverage repeated Monday evening's news about the Al-Alam camp attack in Shabwa and the strikes on Saudi Arabia. What is new are one-sided accounts from Taiz and Sanaa, plus headlines whose text we could not read.

Sanaa health ministry: airport closure worsens medicine shortages and treatment abroad
The health ministry of the Sanaa government, according to Al-Thawra, said more than 1,600 medicines are in short supply. It added that about 40,000 thalassaemia patients and more than 8,000 kidney-failure patients face shortages of drugs and supplies. The same report concedes that the effect of the airport closure alone must be separated from other factors.

AGBI: Houthi attacks push foreign investors to sell in the Saudi market
Arabian Gulf Business Insight published an analysis whose headline links Houthi attacks to foreign investors selling Saudi shares. The text was behind a consent wall and we did not read its figures. We therefore show the headline only, without details.

Islah accused of releasing convicts from Taiz central prison to recruit them
Houthi-aligned Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni, citing field sources, said the Islah party is taking prisoners convicted of criminal offences out of Taiz central prison, ostensibly to mobilise them for combat. It named people it described as close to party leaders. Neither the party nor the Taiz authorities have responded so far, and we found no independent source confirming the account.

Al Arabiya: Giants Brigades deny Houthi advance
Al Arabiya's ten o'clock bulletin carried the headline that the Giants Brigades deny a Houthi advance. The bulletin page showed no readable text, so we could not verify which front was meant or the details of the denial. On Monday evening the Giants Brigades had announced repelling a Houthi attack in Kahboub.
