Saba: civilian killed, another wounded in shelling of Dabbah village
Government-run Saba cited local sources reporting that Mansour Ghaleb, 55, was killed and Abdulazim Qassem, 50, wounded in artillery shelling of Dabbah village in Al-Aqroudh, southeast of Taiz. The agency blamed the Houthis and said a home was hit this evening. Responsibility and the casualty figures have not been independently verified, and this account should not be added to older totals without resolving possible overlap.

Report describes forms collecting military personnel’s information in rural Taiz
Al-Sahil Al-Gharbi, citing unnamed local sources, reported a closed meeting with sheikhs in Al-Turbah and pressure to register military personnel using forms presented as part of a general amnesty. The report adds details of fields it says request information about units, troop positions and weapons stores. The meeting and the form’s authenticity have not been independently verified; broader registration campaigns were reported before the window, so this does not establish the start of a new campaign or a change of control.

Iranian account says two tankers caught fire after hitting mines
WANA, followed by Anadolu citing Iranian broadcasting, relayed an account from the Iranian army’s navy saying two tankers entered a restricted area east of Hormuz with their radar systems switched off and hit mines on Thursday afternoon. The account gives no vessel names, flags or extent of damage, and no independent confirmation was found. This is an army-attributed announcement, separate from the Revolutionary Guards’ account about two tankers the previous night; the accounts are not combined into a confirmed tally or linked to a British notice without identifying the vessels.
