Taiz military command reports 6 strikes on Houthi positions in 3 districts
Anadolu cited two Taiz military command statements reporting three strikes on Houthi positions in Al-Misrakh and Sami and three more at Jabal Al-Arma in Jabal Habashi. The announcement adds location details but gives neither the timing of each strike nor human or material losses. This military account was not independently verified and no Houthi response was reported; its total of 6 is not added to the three strikes published earlier because they may overlap.

Al-Abara discusses displaced people’s needs and a Taiz aid corridor with Japan’s ambassador
Government Saba reported that state minister for displacement Waleed Al-Abara discussed humanitarian conditions with Japanese ambassador Yoichi Nakashima and called for pressure to open an aid corridor to Taiz. It quoted the ambassador reaffirming Japan’s support through international organisations and referring to funding already provided. Confirmation concerns the announcement of the talks; it establishes neither an open corridor nor fresh aid deliveries, and the funding mentioned is not treated as a new pledge in this hour.
