Heavy fighting continues in Yemen’s southwest, with clashes reported between Houthi rebels and Yemeni government forces. Both sides say they are fighting as the fighting flares amid attempts by the Houthis to advance.

The reports describe the combat as ongoing and concentrated in the southwest of the country. Each outlet attributes key claims to the parties themselves, with the government and the Houthi movement presenting their own assessments of the clashes. Details on casualties, specific locations, and territorial changes are not provided in the available accounts.

The two sources offer the same basic picture of the fighting, focusing on the fact of continued clashes and the direction of an attempted push by the Houthis, rather than differences in claims about outcomes or broader political developments. The situation remains fluid as fighting continues.
