Unverified · Taiz, Yemen ·
A single X account, @ME_Observer_, reports that Yemeni forces are besieging Taiz and calling on Saudi-aligned forces to withdraw, attributing this to Al Mayadeen's correspondent. A later post from the same account reports that the Yemeni Armed Forces are clashing with Saudi-backed forces on the southern and western outskirts of Taiz.

Verification
Unverified: 1 independent source.
Sources disagree on:
- The first post describes a siege of Taiz and a demand that Saudi-aligned forces withdraw, while the second describes clashes on the city's southern and western outskirts with no mention of a siege or withdrawal demand. The two are not strictly incompatible but differ in scope.
- The first post attributes its report to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, while the second post gives no source, so both rest on the same X account.
- Terminology differs between posts: 'Yemeni forces' versus 'Yemeni Armed Forces', and 'Saudi-aligned' versus 'Saudi-backed'. No post names the group involved.
