Saba announces Yemen’s participation in Arab–European maritime security talks
Government-run Saba announced Yemen’s participation in the second coordination meeting of Arab and European ambassadors at the UN premises in Vienna. It quoted Ambassador Haitham Shuja al-Din calling for stronger coastguard capabilities, action against arms smuggling and protection of shipping in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab. What is confirmed is the official announcement of participation and stated positions, not a new agreement or measures implemented on the ground.

Reports describe missile launches towards Marib and an explosion in the city
Crater Sky quoted local residents reporting a missile launch towards Marib, then reported a loud explosion in the city without establishing its cause. Moragboon Press later cited Al Arabiya and its sources describing launches from Sanaa and Dhamar, including missiles said to be directed at Marib, with inconsistent counts. The number, targets and results remain independently unverified, and the explosion cannot be conclusively linked to every reported launch.
