Russia resumed its attacks on Kherson with the end of a six-day truce brokered by Melania Trump and Pope Leo. This comes amid offers from Zelensky to stop targeting Russian refineries in exchange for Patriot missiles.

The Houthi siege on the Yemeni city of Taiz doubled the suffering of the population, with the prices of goods rising five-fold, amid the displacement of hundreds of thousands, the targeting of villages, and field developments represented by the Houthis taking control of Balhaj sites and the advance of government forces in Al-Jawf.

The Saudi-led Arab coalition announced the interception and destruction of a ballistic missile launched by the Houthis towards the southern region, coinciding with the Houthis’ announcement of launching intense Saudi air strikes in several Yemeni governorates.

A spokesman for the Houthi Ministry of Health reported that seven citizens were injured as a result of air strikes launched by the Saudi-led coalition targeting the port of Ras Issa and an oil terminal in the Yemeni province of Hodeidah.

CNN verified a video clip claiming that the Houthis seized weapons in Marib, and it turned out that it dates back to a military operation in the Najran axis in 2019, which makes it a misleading description in the context of the current battles.
