Fighting continues in al-Jawf as Houthi-linked media report strikes on Hodeidah

On Monday Houthi-affiliated media reported seven people wounded in strikes on Hodeidah, while the Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted a missile amid continued fighting in al-Jawf. On Sunday Yemeni government forces said they had seized strategic positions in al-Jawf, including weapons and ammunition depots, after a counteroffensive. Rights experts have accused the Houthis of systematic abuses after a UN staffer died in their custody.

  • UNHCR said more than 280,000 people have been displaced by fighting in Yemen, and many vulnerable people cannot safely reach relief.
  • Houthi missiles struck Aden on Friday, and residents there are reportedly stockpiling food and drawing up escape plans.
  • Syria is reportedly weighing joining Saudi Arabia's mutual defence pact with Turkey and Pakistan.
  • The UN rights chief demanded an independent probe into the death in Houthi custody of a Yemeni UN staffer held for over two years.
