🇾🇪⚡- Initial reports: Muhammad Sharaf Adla, Deputy Director of the Office of Ansarullah's Chief Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, was killed in an airstrike in the al-Mocha area, southwest Yemen.

🇾🇪⚡️- BREAKING: Ansarullah has planted mines in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a Yemeni military source tells Al Arabiya.

🇮🇷⚡️- Explosion heard in the Strait of Hormuz.

🇾🇪⚡- Ansarullah have gone on the offensive and have begun attacking Sharira in an attempt to advance towards Jabal Jirdad - southwest Ta'izz countryside.

—❗️🇾🇪 NEW: There is a sudden wave of reports that Ansarallah have placed mines in the Bab Al-Mandab waterway

It should be noted that this is completely false. It was was first claimed at th UN Security Council by the ‘legitimate’ Saudi-backed Yemeni government about an hour ago, in an effort to increase international support for fighting against the Houthis.

Ansarallah have explicitly stated in recent days that maritime traffic in Bab Al-Mandab and the Red Sea will continue as normal, with the exception of Saudi shipping.

Ansarallah forces continue to slowly advance, capturing the eastern peaks of Jabal Kahboob and engaging in fierce clashes in Al-Mashbak and Uqbah Al-Mansourah.

Mokha, Dhubab and Murad are firmly under Houthi control and no effective counterattacks have taken place since the areas were liberated.

📢 🇺🇸 🇿🇦 Marco Rubio on X: As POTUS has made clear, the South African people are being failed by a government that is destroying its economy through an obsessive pursuit of racial grievance against the Afrikaner minority. The South African government has consistently failed to adequately address rural crime, violent and dehumanizing rhetoric, and race-based discriminatory policies against Afrikaners and other minority populations.

Today, I’m announcing a new visa restriction policy targeting foreign nationals who enact or enable policies that promote race-based discrimination, incite violence, or enable land confiscation without compensation in South Africa. Those responsible for these injustices have no place in the United States.

The UK spent years demanding Israel be carved up.

Now they’re talking about breaking up their own country.
