IRGC says two tankers caught fire after hitting mines
Reuters and Mehr carried a Friday IRGC announcement saying two oil tankers struck mines and caught fire while attempting to use what it called unauthorized routes through the Strait of Hormuz. The vessels’ identities and nationalities were not disclosed, and the incidents were not independently verified. The announcement is new in the sources read, but similar accounts from previous days prevent a firm conclusion that these are two additional tankers or their inclusion in a combined tally.

Saba publishes Al-Zouba’s Berlin talks on Taiz and maritime security
Government Saba published an account of Foreign Minister Afrah Al-Zouba’s talks with Arab ambassadors in Berlin, during which she called for coordination over the escalation and the detention of humanitarian workers. It also reported her meeting with Armin Laschet, chair of the German parliament’s foreign affairs committee, and her call for coastguard support. What is confirmed here is the official announcement about the talks, not the verification of conflict-party allegations or approval of new aid.
