Taiz Frontline Bloodshed: Heavy fighting between Yemen’s government forces and the Houthis has flared again in southwestern Taiz, with reports of at least 25 killed as rockets, artillery and mortars hit positions near Maqbanah and Al-Kadha; government forces also report drones being shot down. Red Sea Pressure: The clashes come alongside missile and drone attacks across western Yemen, including reports of 14 ballistic missiles fired at the west coast and renewed shelling that has driven fresh displacement. Humanitarian Fallout: The IOM says more than 1,600 people were displaced across Yemen in a week, mostly from Taiz, as families flee insecurity. Food Security Warning: FEWS NET warns that Houthi attacks on Mokha port and Bab al-Mandeb routes are damaging infrastructure, disrupting supply chains, and could worsen food insecurity through January 2027. Local Mobilization in Sana’a: In the capital, meetings in Al-Tahrir and Old Sana’a districts called for general mobilization and enrollment in courses to support the fronts. Shipping Risk Beyond Yemen: A separate report says a drone hit an Indian-crewed cargo ship on the Russia-to-Karachi route, raising fresh concerns for seafarers in conflict-affected waters.
