What happened

Violent clashes occurred in Al-Maqatirah, a border area between the Lahij and Taiz governorates, as Houthi forces attempted to advance toward strategic areas. Meanwhile, fighting has led to the cutting off of routes into Taiz, resulting in severe shortages of food and fuel. Across Yemen, rising prices and irregular salary payments are compounding existing economic struggles.
