Saba publishes Rasd’s account of civilian casualties in Taiz during August–October
Government-run Saba quoted a report by the Rasd rights group saying that 84 civilians were killed and 255 injured in Taiz between 1 August and 31 October 2026 in violations it attributed to the Houthis. The report called for civilian protection, roads to be reopened and independent investigations. The new development in this window is the publication of this coverage, not those casualties occurring now; Belqees cites the same report and is not an independent source confirming its toll.

What to watch

Verifying the rights report

Civilian and maritime safety
We are monitoring official notices concerning Taiz, the Red Sea, Hormuz and Saudi Arabia, distinguishing incident times from republication times.
