    Account attributed to a soldier describes symptoms after a shell; substance unproven

    Al-Mashhad al-Yemeni relayed testimony attributed to a soldier in government forces and the popular resistance in Taiz, who described dizziness, numbness and loss of consciousness after a shell he blamed on the Houthis landed nearby. The report embeds a clip posted at 07:34 UTC inside the window, but does not date the incident itself.
