Single source · al-Misrakh district, Yemen (approximate: Taiz) ·
Yemen's government-aligned forces, through a Taiz Axis military command statement carried by Saba, say warplanes carried out nine air strikes on Houthi positions and gatherings in al-Misrakh district, the al-Shaqab front and around Taiz city. They also say 378 Houthi fighters were killed or wounded in ground clashes and air attacks. Only Middle East Eye reports this, and no independent source has confirmed or denied it.

Sources disagree on:
- The headline of the first claim credits the strikes to 'Yemen forces, Saudi-led coalition' and says two missile launchers were destroyed, but the claim body attributes the action only to Yemen government-aligned forces and does not mention launchers or the coalition.
- The first claim places the strikes in al-Misrakh district and the al-Shaqab front, while the second claim places the 378 casualties across Taiz governorate; this is a scope difference rather than a direct conflict.
- The 378 figure is a single party's count with no killed/wounded breakdown and no independent or health-ministry figure to check it against.
