Field sources in Marib confirmed that the militias launched widespread attacks on army and resistance sites and civilian areas on the fronts of the Ramli axis, south of Marib, in conjunction with their violations towards new areas that were addressed and forcing the Houthi elements to retreat and flee.

And local sources in Bani Dabyan reported that the tribes responded to the crowds of militias, which deliberately stormed the directorate's security department and stationed in it, which prompted the tribes to besiege the Houthi groups, and gave them an ultimatum to leave the directorate within 24 hours unless the attack and the confiscation of weapons would take place.

In Taiz, the Houthi militia intensively bombed at dawn on Saturday a number of sites and villages on the fronts west of the city of Taiz, concentrated in the areas of Al-Dhabab and the vicinity of Mount Han, and others in the northwest of the city near the air defense, Al-Thalatheen Street and the Bir Pasha area.
