Corroborated · Bab al-Mandab front, Yemen (approximate: Bab al-Mandab) ·
Houthi forces are reported to have seized the headquarters of the 4th Mountain Infantry Brigade in Al-Maqatirah district and captured weapons, ammunition and vehicles, according to a military source cited by the TPOnow account. An X account relays a Houthi claim of a couple hundred square kilometres of mountains and highlands taken on the Bab al-Mandab front in a few days. The TPOnow account also reports a Houthi attack with ground advances toward the Huwayrib area south of Bab al-Mandab, according to field sources.

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.
