Yemen calls for Taiz inquiry; Waziyah injury report remains unverified
Yemen’s foreign minister called for UN support for an inquiry into reports of suspect shells, while a Sanaa media report of injuries at Waziyah market could not be checked in full. In Hormuz, an Iranian fishing organisation said two missing fishermen had been found; the reported attack itself predates the monitoring window.

Iranian fishing organisation says missing Qeshm fishermen found
Mehr quoted Ali Eslami, head of Qeshm’s fishing community, as saying the two fishermen reported missing had been found and were returning to the island. This follows an Iranian account of an attack on two fishing boats at around 08:00 UTC, before the window began, which blamed the United States. The new development is the announcement that they were found, not another attack; neither the circumstances nor responsibility for the reported strike could be independently verified.

Sanaa media headline reports 6 civilians injured at Waziyah market
A headline in the Saba feed run by the Sanaa authorities blamed Saudi aircraft for injuring 6 civilians, including children, at Waziyah market. A verification barrier prevented access to the article, leaving the incident time, toll and attribution unchecked. The displayed time is the report’s indexing time; this account is not added to any earlier casualty total.

Local sources report shop census ahead of collections in al-Maafir
Local sources told Aden Al Ghad that the Houthis began registering shops and their owners in al-Maafir on Saturday ahead of collecting money described as zakat. The report gave no amounts or payment deadlines, and provided neither independent confirmation nor a Houthi response. The account remains unverified and does not establish that collections have begun.

Al-Zawba seeks UN-backed inquiry into reports of suspect shells
The government’s Saba agency published Foreign Minister Afrah al-Zawba’s Manama Dialogue speech, calling for the siege of Taiz to end and roads to reopen permanently and safely. She sought UN support for an urgent inquiry into field reports of shells suspected of containing toxic substances, and linked Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab security to Yemen’s stability. This is a government position and a request for an inquiry, not proof of chemical-weapons use or an announcement of test results.
