Report describes one civilian injured and others surviving two mine blasts
Yemen Monitor, citing local sources, said a mine struck Salem Al-Mahsani’s vehicle as he went to graze his camels in Al-Rayyan, Khabb wa Al-Shaaf, causing minor injuries and damaging the vehicle. It said three civilians survived another mine blast below the Nati pass in Al-Bayda; Aden Al Ghad later carried the same account. No independent documentation was found for the timing of the incidents or who planted the mines, and the sources’ account is insufficient to establish that new mines have been laid.

Mohebi claims US fighter escorts failed to enable two tankers to cross in the morning
Iran International, followed by WANA, quoted IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebi as saying two tankers attempted to cross on Tuesday morning with F-35 escorts, encountered an incident and were prevented from leaving. He also claimed that navigational aids hidden among rocks had been destroyed. The development here is the publication of the remarks; the time of the original broadcast and the allegations have not been verified, and the morning incidents are not counted as two additional tankers during the window.
