Single source: 1 independent source.
Sources disagree on:
- The Yemeni army (via news.az and Anadolu) describes a defensive repulse of a Houthi attack near or south of Taiz, while the Yemeni Armed Forces (via @ME_Observer_) describe an offensive seizure of villages in Jabal Sabr; no source links the two accounts.
- news.az places the attack 'near Taiz' while Anadolu places it 'south of Taiz'.
- Only the army-relayed claims give a death toll (16 Houthis killed); the village-liberation post gives no casualty figures.
