Read the full assessment

Yemeni government forces have reportedly retaken several strategic heights and military sites, including the Hukmah and Huwayshian mountains, east of Hazm in Al-Jawf province. This marks a tactical territorial gain and a shift in local front-line dynamics, though the broader strategic impact and Houthi counterattack potential remain uncertain. Intense fighting also continues in Lahij and Taiz provinces.
