Local report describes destruction of a home in Sabr al-Mawadim before its owner’s wedding
Aden Al-Ghad, followed by Al-Mashhad Al-Yemeni, reported the destruction of a young man’s home and neighbouring houses in Kahlan, Sabr al-Mawadim, attributing the shelling to the Houthis. Neither text specified when it happened, and it is unclear whether they relied on independent sources. The new development is publication of these details, not a verified attack during this window; the damage is not added to earlier housing figures because it may overlap.

Human rights ministry warns of hospital disruption and water crisis in Taiz
Yemen’s human rights ministry warned in a statement carried by government-run Saba that medicines, fuel and food in Taiz were running low, accusing the Houthis of blocking water from the Al-Dhabab basin and obstructing supply routes. It said more than 250 civilians had been killed or injured, without specifying a clear reporting period; this is not a toll for this window and has not been independently verified. It urged the UN and aid agencies to provide water, food and hospital fuel; the warning does not mean hospitals have already shut down.
