  1. AttributedSaudi Arabia

    Update: Houthis name Riyadh airport and two bases as targets of three operations

    Yemen Online reported details of a Houthi announcement claiming attacks with dozens of ballistic missiles on King Khalid airport in Riyadh, an airbase in Khamis Mushait and a naval base in Jazan. This adds detail to the alert in the previous edition; it is not evidence of an additional wave of attacks. Reuters said it remained unclear whether these were the attacks Saudi Arabia said it intercepted; hits and casualties have not been independently verified.

  2. AttributedTaiz

    Local sources report detentions and pressure to recruit around 30 people in Al-Kalaibah

    Almontasaf cited local sources saying the Houthis detained residents from homes and shops in Al-Kalaibah, Al-Maafir district, and took them to Al-Saleh City prison. The sources said the group was pressuring around 30 people to enlist; this is a recruitment target, not a verified detention toll. Albaud4 carried a similar account, but similar reporting does not establish independent sourcing or that all the events occurred within this hour; no Houthi response was available.

  3. AttributedTaiz

    Almontasaf reports building-material restrictions and trucks held near Al-Bireen market

    Almontasaf cited local sources accusing the Houthis of blocking cement and other building materials from entering Taiz, leaving dozens of trucks stopped beyond Al-Bireen market. The article says dozens, although its headline says hundreds, so the higher figure is not adopted. Neither the scale nor responsibility has been independently verified, and the report included no Houthi comment.

    Report says Houthi military media released footage of attacks south of Marib

    Palestine Chronicle said Houthi military media released footage on Sunday that it attributed to attacks on positions and vehicles on the Al-Falihah and Al-Radhah fronts south of Marib. The development is the release of footage, not proof of a new attack within the monitoring window. The location, recording date and losses shown have not been verified.

  5. AttributedAden

    Report: Aden health office receives 22 trucks of Saudi-backed medicines and supplies

    2 December Agency quoted Aden health director Tareq Al-Shaabi as saying the office had received medicines and medical supplies from Saudi Arabia through the coalition joint forces. He said the shipment comprised 22 trucks and would be distributed to hospitals and health centres most in need. The quantities have not been independently verified and distribution is not confirmed complete; arrival in Aden does not mean delivery to Taiz.
