Yemen report: strikes, Taiz Claims and airspace warning

Date unknown

IRINN cites Arabic-language reports of flights circling Riyadh and a missile striking its airport, then reports Houthi-side refinery attacks and a Sana'a humanitarian-operations center warning that Saudi airspace is unsafe except over Mecca and Medina. Shahsouni says the East–West pipeline was attacked again after reported repairs and cites new satellite imagery of damage and a long smoke plume near pumping station 2 east of Riyadh. The report then presents claims of Taiz's encirclement, footage of celebrations in al-Turbah and Mohammed Ali al-Houthi's claimed al-Mawasit liberation and lifting of a blockade. It disputes Saudi claims of advances at Mocha and Bab al-Mandab, with al-Bukhaiti denying those advances and asserting near-complete operational control. The reporter still describes Taiz as besieged, so the passage does not establish full liberation, independently verified territorial control, perpetrators or all alleged strike effects.

IRINN says Houthi-side refinery attacks over Jeddah and Riyadh prompted Sana'a's Humanitarian Operations Coordination Center to warn airlines that Saudi airspace is unsafe except over Mecca and Medina. The broadcast's refinery and safety claims are attributed; independent strike damage and the warning's exact issuance date are not established.
