Yemen: Protests in Saada and reports of downed Saudi jet

In Saada Governorate, hundreds of public demonstrations were held to express readiness and steadfastness against the Saudi blockade and military actions. Participants, including local authority leaders, condemned the ongoing blockade and stated their commitment to supporting the Yemeni Armed Forces until full independence is achieved.

Simultaneously, Yemeni military media released footage claiming the successful targeting of a Saudi Eurofighter Typhoon fighter jet over Saada using a locally manufactured surface-to-air missile. The footage reportedly shows the aircraft being hit directly, with indications that it may have crashed within Saudi territory.

In Taiz, the Insan Organization for Rights and Freedoms condemned continued attacks on civilians. The organization reported that Saudi airstrikes in the Bani Amer area of the Ash Shamaytain district resulted in one woman killed and four others injured, including a child. Additionally, artillery fire in the Al-Ram Al-A'la area of the Hayfan district reportedly killed a man and injured his wife. The organization called on the international community and the United Nations to take action to prevent further violations of international humanitarian law.
