Coalition announces destruction of a ballistic missile launcher in Sanaa
Coalition spokesman Turki Al-Maliki said his forces destroyed a ballistic missile launcher in Sanaa that the Houthis had used in an attempted attack on Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province today. Government-run Saba carried the statement from the Saudi Press Agency. This announcement is distinct from the earlier statement about two launchers in Saada; neither the launcher’s destruction nor the strike’s outcome has been independently verified.

National Resistance says Al-Mudarabah and Al-Maqatirah fighting continued into the evening
The National Resistance’s military media said its forces fought the Houthis on the Al-Mudarabah and Al-Maqatirah fronts, with combat continuing from daytime into the evening. It claimed personnel and equipment losses without providing figures. The development is its report of continuing combat, not proof of a separate battle or a new toll within the window; the outcomes have not been independently verified.

Sanaa University denies military use of its medical faculty
Houthi-affiliated 26 September carried a Sanaa University statement denying the presence of missile launchers or weapons within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences campus. The university said it held a press conference and invited media and international organisations to visit its facilities. This presents the university’s account, not independent verification of how all its facilities are used, and does not establish any link to the launcher the coalition said it targeted in Sanaa.

Yemeni–US talks address media cooperation and documenting abuses
Government-run Saba reported a meeting between Information Minister Salem Thabet Al-Awlaki and US chargé d’affaires to Yemen Neil Hop. The talks covered journalistic capacity, media cooperation and highlighting the war’s humanitarian consequences. Confirmation concerns publication of the official meeting and its announced agenda, not independent corroboration of military allegations raised there or the announcement of new funding or an agreement.
