Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni said Houthi vanguard forces had reached Al-Sareeh junction, Al-Fasiyah and Huwayrib overlooking Khor Umairah, citing unnamed sources for an account of Nation Shield forces withdrawing from Khazar. The same outlet had published an earlier withdrawal account from Al-Mudarabah at 23:06 UTC; the development here is publication of additional location details, not proof of an advance during the window. We found no independent documentation or named official statement confirming control or the timing of movements, and do not establish casualties or a change in front lines.
