Basha Report said the Houthis acknowledged that senior security officers were captured by the 5th Presidential Protection Brigade on the western Taiz front. It identified the highest-ranking captive as Brigadier General Akram Amer and said Houthi prisoner-affairs coordinator Abdulqader al-Murtada confirmed the capture while disputing that the men were military commanders. The post did not date the capture and no independent confirmation was read.

Verification: unverified

Evidence: They Believed Western Taiz City Had Fallen. Instead, Senior Houthi Officers Were Captured

Single original X post from Basha Report was read. It attributes the acknowledgment and denial to Houthi prisoner-affairs coordinator Abdulqader al-Murtada, but no independent confirmation of the capture was read and the incident date is not given.
