Army reports injuries at Aden airport and releases 24-hour operations tally

On the humanitarian front, the Agriculture Ministry announced a review of a food-security project with FAO; military losses have not been independently verified, and no new aid delivery was announced for the window.

Developments in this window

  1. AttributedYemen fronts

    Army reports 749 targeting operations over 24 hours

    Government-run Saba quoted military spokesman Majed al-Nuzaili as reporting 749 targeting operations under Dawn of Yemen, the “neutralisation” of 239 Houthi leaders and fighters, and the destruction or disabling of 117 vehicles and pieces of equipment. The statement covers Taiz, Al-Jawf, Marib, Al-Bayda and southern and western fronts over 24 hours, not this window alone. This is a combatant’s tally that we have not independently verified; “neutralised” is not a death toll, and the figures are not added to earlier airstrike reports.

  2. AttributedAden

    Military spokesman reports civilian injuries and damage at Aden airport

    Military spokesman Majed al-Nuzaili said in a statement carried by government-run Saba and Asharq that two ballistic missiles hit Aden airport, causing civilian injuries and material damage, and blamed the Houthis. He gave no number of injured and described it as the sixth attack on the airport. The new detail is the account of injuries; we do not count the statement as evidence of an additional strike beyond previously reported attacks, and have not independently verified the injuries or extent of damage.

  3. ConfirmedFood security

    Agriculture Ministry and FAO review food-security project progress

    Government-run Saba announced that the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Fisheries discussed implementation of the World Bank-funded Food Security and Resilience Project with FAO in Aden. The announcement put completion at about 70% for a project running from August 2021 to March 2028 and targeting 9 governorates. What is confirmed is the official announcement of the review; the report’s seed, livestock and beneficiary figures are cumulative results, not aid delivered during this window or new funding.
