What to watch

Verifying the Taiz account
We are watching for the original report, its evidence and a defined reporting period, while avoiding the addition of potentially overlapping totals.
Maintaining power in Marib
We are watching for measurable operating data or implementation decisions, rather than relying solely on statements about the visit.
Maritime warnings and interceptions
We are watching for dated original statements and vessel names or locations before counting additional incidents or interceptions.
