Taiz military spokesman claims advances in Sabr; Yemen sends letter to Iraqi parliament

A local report quoted a military spokesman claiming government advances in rural Sabr, without naming the positions or providing independent verification of control. Government news agency Saba published reports of a letter delivered to Iraq’s parliament and a meeting to arrange support for the fronts. Late coverage of Hormuz and health figures was excluded because it repeated information published before the window.

    Saba reports delivery of Yemeni letter to Iraqi speaker on escalation

    Government news agency Saba reported that Ambassador al-Khadr Ahmed Marmash delivered a letter from Sultan al-Barakani to Iraqi parliamentary speaker Haibat Hamad al-Halbousi. It said the letter addressed Houthi escalation, attacks on civilian facilities including airports, ports and health facilities, and the siege of Taiz. Confirmation here concerns the official report of the letter’s delivery, not independent verification of the military allegations it contains.

    Taiz military spokesman claims advances in Sabr without naming positions

    Al-Sahil al-Gharbi quoted Colonel Abdulbasit al-Bahr as announcing advances by government and resistance forces on the Sabr fronts in southern rural Taiz. He said the positions would be named after clearance and security operations were complete. No independent verification of changes in control or the number of positions was available; the announcement does not establish that supply routes into the city have reopened.
