Al-Athawer alert gives a different toll from earlier health statement
The Houthi-run 26 September homepage displayed an alert dated within the window saying a mother and 3 of her children were killed and 4 children wounded in a strike it attributed to Saudi Arabia on a house in Al-Athawer. The update we could read was a headline only, without a detailed report explaining the difference from the Sanaa Health Ministry statement published at 13:47 UTC, which reported 3 dead and 2 wounded. We found neither independent verification nor an official explanation of the discrepancy; this is not counted as another attack and the tolls are not added together.

Taiz parties call for support to fronts and an end to the siege
Al Mashhad Al Yemeni carried a joint statement it said was signed by 11 political parties and groups in Taiz after a regular meeting. It called for support to government forces and the resistance, an end to the siege and activation of fronts, and condemned what it described as Houthi forced recruitment and shelling. These are the signatories’ positions and allegations, not independent verification of every abuse or an announcement of a new advance.

Report cites sniper injury to boy in Sabr Al-Mawadim
Yemen Monitor quoted Taiz’s siege affairs office as saying that Munaf Badi Abdulghani Abdulraqeeb, aged 16, was shot in the abdomen on Wednesday in Adud village, Sabr Al-Mawadim, by a sniper the office identified as Houthi. The report gives no injury time, and we found no independent medical confirmation. It also includes Dina Mahmoud’s injury on Tuesday; that older incident had already circulated and is not counted as an additional injury in this window.
