- Yemeni government forces announced Tuesday control of Jebel al-Munthara, al-Asharif and Dhiban in Hayfan district south of Taiz.
- The Saudi-led coalition said 100 fighter jets destroyed 324 "high-value" targets, later revealing strikes on a ballistic missile launcher in Sanaa and a missile store in Saada.
- Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the group preserves its field gains, dismissing the government's announcements as "imaginary heroics."
- Yemeni government forces said the offensive aims to secure coastal gains and open a route toward Al-Mokha.
- Military analyst Brigadier Hassan Juni said battles in the rugged mountains and coastal areas reflect a balance of initiative between the two sides.
