Yemen urges mine clearance; IRGC reports two tankers stopped near Hormuz

Yemen’s foreign ministry urges UN action on mine-laying and clearance
In a memorandum to the UN Development Programme’s resident representative, Yemen’s foreign ministry said the Houthis were continuing to lay anti-personnel mines, particularly in rural Taiz. It called for expanded survey, clearance and victim assistance, and support for the national mine action programme. The allegations are attributed to the government; publication of the appeal does not mean new clearance operations have begun, and we have not independently verified the field incidents it describes.

IRGC statement reports two tankers stopped south of Hormuz without naming them
Reuters quoted the IRGC Navy as saying two tankers were involved in an incident and stopped south of the Strait of Hormuz after ignoring radio warnings and attempting to use a route Iran describes as unauthorized. The statement claimed they had switched off navigation and positioning systems. The new development is publication of this statement, not proof of two new attacks; no vessel names or incident time were given, overlap with earlier reports remains unresolved, and the causes have not been independently verified.

Local report claims Dar al-Sina village south of Taiz was recaptured
Al-Baud Al-Rabea cited unnamed field sources as saying the army and popular resistance recaptured Dar al-Sina village in Al-Misrakh district after clashes with the Houthis on Friday. It reported deaths and injuries without a specific toll. We read the report and its timestamp, but no original statement or independent source was available to confirm the recapture; we therefore do not treat the claim as an established change on the control map.
