Drop Site News reports that Ansarallah now controls all entry points to Taiz city, where the entrances are active frontlines with only brief pauses in fighting. An anonymous X account (@war_cube) says the Houthis have cut all main routes into Taiz, while PLC forces keep fighting there with Royal Saudi Air Force air support. Tasnim News, citing its Mocha correspondent, reports ground fighting continues south of Taiz city.

Verification
Corroborated: 3 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Tasnim News says Yemeni forces advanced on some axes 'in Sanaa', while the other two claims and the event location concern Taiz; the place reference is inconsistent within the claim.
- Tasnim News attributes the ground action to 'Yemeni armed forces' and reports advances, while Drop Site and @war_cube describe Houthi/Ansarallah control of the routes; these describe the same area from opposing sides and do not establish who controls the entries.
Details by origin
Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
