A woman was killed and five civilians, including another woman and a girl, were wounded in Houthi shelling and sniper fire in the Sabir al-Mawadim district, southeast of Taiz, according to the Taiz Human Rights Center as reported by Yemen’s state news agency Saba. Iran-aligned Houthi forces have intensified their military activities in the region, following a pattern of increased hostilities. The ongoing conflict has led to a siege around Taiz, disrupting essential supplies and causing civilian casualties. The developments in Taiz are contributing to a broader context of escalating tensions between Houthi forces and the Saudi-backed Yemeni government, with potential implications for the strategic city of Aden. Market pricing suggests a 26% probability of Houthi forces entering Aden by December 31, 2026.
