Yemen's army 35th Armored Brigade said it captured a Houthi group specializing in drone operation on the Al-Akroud-Kahlan front southeast of Taiz. The number of detainees was not disclosed; the Houthis did not comment on the statement. The detention came amid an escalation of fighting in Taiz in October and Operation Yemen's Dawn, launched on October 5.
Aziz KarimovGovernor of Yemen's Taiz province Nabil Shamsan said that Houthis have blocked roads into the city for 15 days; due to fuel shortages, power plants, water supply and garbage collection have stopped. Hospitals face medicine shortages, and humanitarian organizations cannot reach approximately 4 million residents and displaced people. Since October 5, government forces have been conducting the 'Yemen's Dawn' offensive.

According to the brigade, at least 16 militants were killed in nearly eight hours of fighting, and the Houthis made no territorial gains. The Houthis did not comment on the statement.

Aziz KarimovDue to the escalation of the armed conflict between the Houthis and the internationally recognized government's forces in Yemen, 800,000 people have lost access to humanitarian aid, and over 18 million face daily food shortages, the UN World Food Programme reported. The situation is worst in Taiz, where more than 600,000 people, including 200,000 women and children, are cut off from aid. The Houthis are trying to retake the city and drive government forces off the strategically important Jabal Sabir mountain. Taiz is Yemen's third-largest city, with key highways leading to Aden, where the recognized government is based. The capital, Sanaa, is controlled by the Houthis.
