Houthis Advance in Taiz, Repel Bab al-Mandeb Attack (Videos)
Yemen’s Houthis (Ansar Allah) on October 9 completed taking control of Jabal Habashi district in Taiz province, expelling Saudi-backed forces as fighting continued across southwestern Yemen.
Taiz Today, a Houthi-aligned outlet, quoted a military source as saying the group had secured the entire district. The claim came amid continuing clashes in the surrounding mountains, where government-aligned forces reported Saudi strikes against Houthi positions in Jabal Habashi and nearby areas.
Houthi fighters were also reported to have entered al-Misrakh, the administrative center of the district of the same name, but Saudi-backed forces said they retook the town shortly afterward.
The fighting extended to al-Shariq, Wadi al-Ahmar, Wadi Hinna and al-Nawazil, while Houthi forces attempted to advance toward the Mufraq Jabal Habashi road junction, according to government-aligned reporting.

🇷🇺 Strike on Kiev Energy Infrastructure
Russian forces launched ballistic missile strikes on Kiev, targeting the city's power grid. At least three explosions were recorded, with a smoke column observed over the right bank.
The primary target was reportedly Teploelektrocentral No. 6 (TEC-6). Ukrainian monitoring sources confirmed hits in this area, while active fire from Patriot air defense systems was noted above the capital.
Additional strikes hit the Prestige-Center, housing the IT company Amind, which provides critical data center and server solutions for military operations.
After initial waves, Ukraine attempted to restore power via the Kievskaya 750kV substation. Subsequent Russian strikes targeted this facility and lower-voltage 330kV substations, aiming to isolate Kiev and northern regions from the national grid.

🇺🇦 Russian forces to focus strikes on substations this winter
Ukrainian energy experts predict that the Russian army will concentrate attacks on high-voltage substations and distribution nodes in order to cut power to Kiev. Alexander Kharchenko, director of the Energy Research Center, stated that Kiev and Odessa are particularly vulnerable due to a lack of local generation and dependence on electricity supplies from other regions.
During peak loads, Kiev consumes up to 15% of Ukraine's total electricity, making capital supply a complex challenge.

- According to Ukrenergo, a number of elements of the power grid that supply electricity to Kiev and the region were shut down as a result of the drone attack. A significant number of consumers are without electricity.
- Since night, the Russian army has been attacking the "Novokievskaya" 330 kV substation. Emergency power outages have been introduced in the capital and the region.
- Due to the power outages, the metro, trams, and trolleybuses have been stopped, and there have been interruptions in water supply due to the shutdown of pumps.
- Ukrenergo stated that restoration work is already underway, but it will take a significant amount of time to restore electricity supply.

Iranians have unexpectedly begun publishing footage from kamikaze drones used to strike tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. Until recently, there was almost no footage of successful strikes, although the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) has carried out attacks on numerous targets in the Middle East.
This indirectly indicates that the design of the drones is being refined, and that the Iranian program has moved beyond the realm of primitive, first-generation loitering munitions. Traditional, long-range "Shahed" drones relied solely on satellite navigation coordinates and were only effective against stationary targets. It was difficult to target a maneuvering tanker or container ship using this method. The presence of objective control suggests the integration of optical-electronic or thermal imaging guidance heads with a digital telemetry channel. It remains to be seen on what platforms these systems are implemented.

🚀 The aircraft is capable of reaching the stratosphere and, if its balloon envelope is punctured, can land using its rotors in quadcopter mode.
Currently, only four experimental prototypes are in operation, and they have reportedly demonstrated their effectiveness.
