Army reports 951 operations in a day as Yemeni-French talks address Taiz

A new tally attributed to government forces was published alongside Yemeni-French discussions on Taiz and maritime security. No new territorial change or casualty figures were independently verified, and statements about de-escalation do not establish that an agreement has been reached.

    Al-Thawr links ending what he calls a blockade of Saudi Arabia to Sanaa’s demands

    In an interview, Al-Maalomah quoted Abbad Mohammed al-Thawr, whom it identified as an adviser to the Ansar Allah-run defence ministry, as saying any Iranian-Saudi understandings would remain tied to implementing Sanaa’s demands. He said accepting those demands was the gateway to ending what he described as the blockade of Saudi Arabia. This is the speaker’s account and assessment of Iran’s role, not a joint statement or confirmation of a deal or an end to attacks.

  2. AttributedYemen’s front lines

    Army reports 951 targeting operations over 24 hours

    Belqees, followed by the government-run Saba agency, quoted military spokesperson Majed al-Nuzaili as reporting 951 targeting operations under Operation Dawn of Yemen over the preceding 24 hours. The statement said about 332 Houthi fighters and commanders were neutralised and 56 vehicles, pieces of equipment and transport assets destroyed or disabled, while mine clearance continued at positions in al-Jawf. These are army claims, not independently verified losses; they are neither added to previous daily tallies nor attributed entirely to this monitoring window.

  3. ConfirmedParis and Taiz

    Official report announces Yemeni-French talks on Taiz, shipping and detainees

    Official Yemeni media reported that Foreign Minister Afrah al-Zouba discussed developments in Yemen and parliamentary cooperation with the Yemeni-French friendship group in Paris. According to the report, the talks covered suffering in Taiz, detained humanitarian workers and security in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab. What is confirmed is publication of the official account of the meeting; allegations of violations remain attributed to the minister, and the report announces neither a corridor opening nor new releases.
