— Military confrontations between Sanaa forces and factions loyal to Riyadh intensified on the outskirts of Al-Turbah, the capital of Al-Hujariya District, after Saudi-backed forces advanced toward Bab Al-Najd and took control of Jabal Al-Maswari and the areas of Daba Al-Dakhel, reaching the villages of Sha’ab Al-Darahim. According to informed military sources, Ansar Allah secured Bab Al-Najd, which is considered key to controlling Al-Turbah because it lies west of the city and connects it with the districts of Sabr, Al-Salw, and Sami’. Ansar Allah also advanced from Al-Safiyah to control the road linking Al-Turbah and Taiz.

— Satellite images showed a column of smoke rising from Saudi Arabia’s Umm Eared oil field, reportedly likely resulting from a potential Yemeni attack. A U.S. E-3 early warning aircraft was also active over Riyadh. Saudi aviation carried out airstrikes on Hayfan, Al-Kadha, and Sam’a in southern Taiz in an attempt to halt the advance of the Yemeni army.

— UK Maritime Trade Operations reported that an oil tanker was struck by an unidentified projectile in the Strait of Hormuz, causing a fire onboard.

— Iran’s Foreign Ministry condemned restrictions imposed on air traffic between Iran and Iraq, accusing america of using extraterritorial sanctions to disrupt Iran’s trade and air transport links with other countries. Iran said the restrictions were contrary to the shared interests of Iran and Iraq and were creating difficulties for pilgrims, patients, students, and people engaged in economic and commercial activity between the two countries. Tehran called on Iraq to take steps to lift the restrictions and restore normal airline operations, while saying it respected Iraq’s national sovereignty and valued the longstanding ties between the two countries.

— Local media in Aden reported that the sites targeted in the area contained Saudi forces west of Aden Governorate.

— Reports from the Yemeni front said military confrontations between Sanaa forces and Saudi-backed factions had intensified around Al-Turbah following advances by Saudi-backed forces toward Bab Al-Najd. The same reports said Ansar Allah secured the area and advanced toward the road connecting Al-Turbah and Taiz.

— Saudi airstrikes continued across Yemen, including attacks in Taiz, Saada, and Hodeidah. The reported strikes targeted military positions, communications infrastructure, and civilian farms, with one civilian injured in Al-Durayhimi.
