- Government forces also reported gains in the Kahbub mountain range, a strategically vital area overlooking the Bab el-Mandeb strait, or "Gate of Tears," which serves as a primary route for Gulf oil shipments.
- The International Organization for Migration reported more than 100,000 people displaced inside Yemen due to the violence, while thousands have fled across the Red Sea toward Djibouti.
- Amid tensions involving Iran and the United States, the widening conflict threatens key maritime routes and exacerbates global energy supply concerns, with crude prices remaining well above $100 a barrel.
