Local reports: medical supplies for Al-Hadd and Ras al-Arah hospitals
Aden Time and Aden Al-Ghad published identical accounts saying the Health Ministry medical supply service provided Al-Hadd hospital in Yafa and Ras al-Arah hospital with medicines and equipment to treat wounded patients, on the instructions of Minister Qassem Buhaibeh. The reports linked the intervention to appeals for treatment supplies. This is treated as one account attributed to a government body, not two independent sources; the text gives no quantities or precise delivery time, and no independent field verification was available.

New interview: Joint Forces say they are repelling attacks in Kahbub
Joint Forces spokesperson Waddah al-Dubaish told Al Jazeera Net in a newly published exclusive interview that troops had repelled Houthi attacks in Kahbub and fighting was continuing near Al-Muhawalah and Al-Aghabirah. He described attempts to advance towards Al-Suqyah and simultaneous pressure on Tur al-Bahah and Dhubab. This is an account from a party to the fighting; clashes beginning at dawn and positions lost five days earlier are not new events within the window, and a transfer of territorial control during it was not independently established.
