No reliable new developments; Lahj and Taiz toll comes from an earlier statement

We established no reliable new development during the monitoring window. Morning reports on casualties in Lahj and Taiz, the Presidential Leadership Council meeting and the Saudi-US call repeat statements published before the window. Some pages were inaccessible or left event timing unresolved; they are not counted as evidence of new attacks.

What to watch

Casualty figures and investigations
We await medical updates and independent evidence, matching locations and names to avoid adding overlapping tolls.
Front lines and sea routes
We are watching for original statements establishing the time of movements and warnings. Republication of an earlier account does not establish another attack.
Aid access
We are monitoring supply routes reopening and food and medicines actually arriving, not appeals alone.

Earlier context

At 19:02 UTC on 2 November, the human rights ministry published a statement blaming the Houthis for attacks on al-Saqiyah health centre and al-Najd market, reporting 46 people killed or injured in total. This is an earlier government account. Its figures must not be added to other tolls for the same incidents.mohr-ye.org · 2026-11-02
