Relative calm on several Yemeni frontlines has not stopped scattered clashes or warnings of heavier fighting around Taiz and the western coast, correspondent Saddam Hassan reports from Al Hudaydah.

In a live exchange with anchor Rola Haidar on Qatar-based Al Araby Television, Hassan describes the lull as marked by extreme caution. He also makes an important distinction at the outset: no official statement has been issued about recent operations inside Saudi territory or against military mobilizations. His subsequent discussion of Saudi targets concerns threats and possible continued attacks, rather than confirmation of a new strike.

Much of the dispatch sets out the position of Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, leader of the Ansar Allah movement, commonly known as the Houthis. Summarizing the leader's televised remarks, Hassan says the movement links escalation to escalation and restrictions on Yemen to retaliatory pressure on Saudi Arabia.

The correspondent identifies oil facilities belonging to Saudi Aramco, the kingdom's majority state-owned oil company, and airports in Riyadh and Abha as potential targets. He says the movement's demands include opening airports and ports, paying public-sector salaries and resuming dialogue, and presents its position as continuing military action until those demands are met.

The geography connects two different settings: Taiz lies in southwestern Yemen's highlands, while Al Hudaydah and the western coastal fronts face the Red Sea. Onscreen captions cite Houthi-affiliated media reporting Saudi raids on Dhubab and Mokha, and separately describe fierce fighting between Yemeni government forces and Houthi fighters at Al-Aqrood and Kahlan on Jabal Sabir.

Hassan closes with a report of intense Saudi-led airstrikes in Maqbanah, citing the local health ministry for casualties. The dispatch's quieter frontline picture therefore sits alongside continuing reports of ground fighting and aerial attacks, not an announcement that hostilities have ended.
