Al Mayadeen reported, on the authority of its Yemen bureau chief, that the forces the post calls the Yemeni Armed Forces continued advancing across northern Taiz and areas east and south of the province, and that reports indicated operations targeting Saudi military leaders and Saudi-backed troop concentrations in Taiz. The post gives no named unit, no village, no front date beyond Friday and no capture, and the targeting accounts are attributed to unspecified reports rather than to the outlet.
Verification: unverified
Evidence: Yemeni advance in Taiz as Saudi airstrikes intensify across the province
Single outlet, and the advance itself is attributed to Al Mayadeen's Yemen bureau chief while the targeting accounts are attributed to unspecified reports. No named unit, locality, capture or front date appears in the recovered material.
