Houthis report 93 Saudi airstrikes over a 24-hour period
Houthi-run 26 September quoted Yahya Saree as saying Saudi aircraft carried out 93 strikes on Sanaa and seven governorates over 24 hours. He reported civilian casualties without giving a specific toll in this statement. These are claims by a party to the conflict over a period longer than the monitoring window, without independent verification; they do not establish 93 strikes during this window.

Saba publishes Ibb groups’ statement supporting Operation Dawn of Yemen
Government-run Saba published a statement by Ibb local authority leaders, resistance representatives and political and social groups following an event in Marib, supporting Operation Dawn of Yemen and the restoration of state institutions. Participants called for support for government forces and for families to protect their children from Houthi recruitment. What is confirmed is publication of this political position, not a new battlefield advance or change of control in Ibb.

Conflicting descriptions of the target struck in Khayami
26 September published a local source’s account that Saudi aircraft struck the industrial technical institute in Khayami, Al-Maafir. Al-Sahil al-Gharbi had already published a field-source bulletin at 14:23 UTC alleging that the institute served as a Houthi headquarters and weapons store and that the strike targeted a commanders’ meeting. The site’s use and the outcome remain independently unverified; the later account does not establish a second strike during this window.

Houthi media report a mobilisation declaration by Thula tribes
26 September reported an armed tribal gathering in Thula, Amran, and a statement announcing mobilisation, support for Houthi fronts and endorsement of the leadership’s response options. It also reported a support convoy without specifying its size. This is a conflict party’s media account of mobilisation, not proof of troop movements or a new attack.

Yemen’s Foreign Ministry seeks international measures over alleged Iranian intervention
Yemen’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement condemning what it describes as IRGC and Hezbollah involvement in directing Houthi operations, urging the Security Council to curb weapons and expertise transfers and enforce its resolutions. The statement builds on the Interior Ministry’s earlier allegation of 21 experts; it does not identify an additional group or independently confirm that number. It warned of consequences for Taiz and shipping in the southern Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab.

Report claims 5 killed and 18 wounded in Taiz during an earlier period
Yemen News Portal quoted the Houthi health ministry as reporting 5 deaths and 18 injuries from airstrikes it attributed to Saudi Arabia in Taiz districts. The report places the tally between 2 a.m. and 2 p.m., before the current monitoring window. The development here is publication of that account, not evidence of new casualties during the window; neither the figures nor responsibility have been independently verified, and the tally must not be added to earlier potentially overlapping reports.

Saba announces briefing of Arab ambassadors on Taiz and maritime security
Government-run Saba said Foreign Minister Afrah Al-Zouba briefed Arab ambassadors accredited to France on Yemen, including Taiz, detained UN personnel and security in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab. It quoted the Arab group’s representative as affirming support for Yemen’s government. Confirmation concerns the announced briefing and participants’ reported positions, not independent verification of every allegation raised; this was separate from the previously reported French meeting.
