> Forces aligned with Yemen’s internationally recognised government have retaken positions and advanced in western Taiz after repelling a Houthi offensive, with air strikes reported against Houthi gatherings. The Houthis say they launched dozens of ballistic missiles and drones at military and infrastructure targets at Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid airbase, calling the attacks a response to Saudi strikes. Riyadh has not immediately commented.
