Yemeni army claims 1,276 strikes in 24 hours
Government military spokesman Majed Al-Nuzaili said Operation Dawn of Yemen carried out 1,276 strikes in 24 hours across Taiz, Jouf, Marib, Al-Bayda and southern fronts. He claimed that around 382 Houthi commanders and fighters were “neutralized” and 140 vehicles and heavy weapons destroyed or disabled. This is a combatant’s tally without independent verification; “neutralized” does not establish that everyone counted was killed. The new development is the release of the tally, not that all these operations took place within this monitoring window.

Report claims two vehicles destroyed in Al-Mudaraba; Giants deny Kahbub withdrawal
Aden Al-Ghad reported that the Southern Giants Brigades destroyed two Houthi military vehicles, including an armored vehicle, on the Al-Mudaraba front and killed those aboard, without giving a number. Separately, Aden Time quoted Giants media official Aseel Al-Soqaldi denying a withdrawal from Kahbub positions. Neither the losses nor territorial control could be independently verified; the denial is not independent evidence of the situation on the ground.

MSF says strike near Mocha hospital threatens access to care
In a new update, MSF said three strikes hit the Mocha coast on the morning of October 26, one 150 metres from the general hospital where its teams work. It said patients and staff were safe, but the building was damaged and fear was deterring people from seeking care. It also described an earlier incident near Aden airport that disrupted a humanitarian flight and called for protection of health facilities and workers. The news is the organization’s assessment released within the window, not a new evening strike; the statement did not name the attacker.
