What to watch

Front lines and civilian protection
We are watching original, dated reports from Taiz and Marib, distinguishing changes in control and new incidents from republication of earlier operations or casualties.
Shipping lanes and diplomacy
We are watching for original notices concerning Hormuz, Bab al-Mandab and the Red Sea, and announced negotiating outcomes rather than repeated statements.
Humanitarian access
We are monitoring new aid arrivals, distinguishing the distribution date from the publication or translation date.
