Taiz siege affairs office reports 5 killed and 5 wounded in shelling and sniper fire
Aden Al Ghad quoted a statement by Taiz governorate’s siege affairs office reporting 5 civilians killed and 5 wounded in villages in the Sabr districts, blaming Houthi shelling and sniper fire. There was no independent medical verification or Houthi response, and the statement did not specify the time of the incidents. Al Mashhad Al Yemeni separately cited local sources reporting a child wounded in Al Aqroud; that case is not added to the toll because possible overlap is unresolved.

Muhammad Ali al-Houthi criticises Saudi position and Egyptian authorisation to support Riyadh
Muhammad Ali al-Houthi said in comments published by the Houthi-affiliated 26 September outlet that Saudi talk of de-escalation contradicted what he described as continuing attacks and a blockade. He criticised Egypt’s parliamentary authorisation to support Saudi Arabia’s defence, while expressing hope that the meetings could contribute to peace. These are the positions of a party to the conflict, not an announcement of an agreement or ceasefire, nor proof of the allegations made.
