Unverified local accounts of strikes on supply boats near Bab al-Mandab
Tihama24 and Ain Aden reported air strikes on maritime movements and boats believed to be carrying supplies for the Houthis, alongside fighting on the western coast. The new detail is the alleged targeting of maritime supplies, not the start of the ground offensive already covered at dawn. Field sources are unnamed and their independence is unclear; results and the timing of individual strikes remain unconfirmed. This does not establish a closure of the strait or an attack on merchant ships.

Report describes agreement to rehabilitate and operate Al-Rahma Hospital in Mukalla
Yemen Monitor reported that Hadramout Governor Salem al-Khanbashi oversaw the signing on Tuesday of an agreement between Selah Foundation for Development and the Mukalla Centre for Research, Studies and Development to rehabilitate and operate Al-Rahma Cooperative Hospital. The plan covers essential departments followed by additional facilities. We read the report and checked its publication date, but did not obtain the agreement or a second independent confirmation; signing does not mean the hospital has opened or begun providing services.

PetroMasila denies Houthi share ownership after report attributed to Al Arabiya
Belqees and Al-Mashhad Al-Yemeni quoted a PetroMasila statement denying that any other person or entity owns shares in it and asserting full Yemeni government ownership. The denial responds to a report the outlets attributed to Al Arabiya alleging that Houthi leader Abu Ali al-Hakim holds shares and influence in the company. PetroMasila said the channel removed the video after being contacted; we did not read the original video, examine ownership records or independently verify its removal. The new development is publication of the response, not independent proof or disproof of the allegation.
