Sanaa health authorities publish update on deaths from injuries in Al-Makhaf market incident
In an original post, the health ministry under the Sanaa authorities said 3 people, including a child, had died from injuries sustained in the November 2 Al-Makhaf market incident in Al-Aqroud. It put the incident’s toll at 12 dead, including 8 children, and 14 wounded, blaming Saudi-backed forces for targeting the market. The new development is publication of the update at 18:50 UTC; the deaths and responsibility have not been independently verified. This is not treated as a new attack, nor is its toll added to earlier figures.

Coverage carries Qatari-Turkish statement on Houthis and shipping; original release time unresolved
At 18:38 UTC, Masrawy published the substance of a Qatari-Turkish statement calling on the Houthis to stop attacks and return to the political process, and calling for safe passage through Hormuz. We recovered the full official text from QNA, which also condemned attacks on Saudi Arabia and shipping in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab. The original page’s publication-time field is inconsistent with the retrieval time and was not used; the classification reflects uncertainty over timing, not an absence of the statement’s text. The statement does not establish that attacks have stopped or the strait has reopened.

Reports quote army as saying a Houthi drone was downed on Marib’s northern front
Tihama24 quoted the Armed Forces Media Centre as saying a Houthi suicide drone was downed while flying over Marib’s northern front. Al-Mashhad Al-Yemeni repeated the announcement, saying the centre had published photographs of the operation. Both reports rely on the same authority; we did not recover the original military post or independently verify the images and outcome, and the text gives no incident time. Earlier airstrike and casualty figures are not added to this announcement.
