Reports that Syrian troops could be deployed to Yemen as part of military cooperation between the two countries “do not reflect the reality on the ground at present”, Mohammed Azzi Baakr, Yemen’s acting ambassador in Damascus, has said.

He added that any such move would be announced through official institutions and follow legal procedures.

The resolution allows targeted financial and travel sanctions against designated individuals in Yemen until November 14, 2027.

It also added several individuals in Yemen to the sanctions list and condemned Houthi militia maritime and cross-border attacks against Saudi Arabia, as well as threats to commercial vessels.

The resolution, backed by the UK, also extended the mandate of the Yemen Panel of Experts, which monitors and reports on sanctions, until December 15, 2027.

Coalition spokesperson Turki al-Maliki says air defences destroyed the drone in the Eastern Province

The Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi militias has said it intercepted and destroyed a drone in eastern Saudi Arabia.

“Air defences intercepted and destroyed a drone in the Eastern Province,” coalition spokesperson Turki al-Maliki wrote on X.

No further details were immediately available about the drone or any damage.

The Board of Peace has said US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan must be implemented “immediately without further delay” following a deadly Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza.

The board said the “tragic loss of life” underscored the urgency of moving forward with the plan.

It said it “deplores the death of any civilians” and denounced Hamas, but stopped short of condemning the Israeli attack.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard navy has said a tanker carrying liquefied natural gas struck a naval mine and suffered an explosion in the Strait of Hormuz, state media reported.

The navy said the vessel was travelling along what it described as an “unauthorised and dangerous route”.

No further details about the tanker were immediately available.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said they targeted a US early-warning radar in Bahrain, the first such claim of an attack on American military assets in a Gulf country since early September.

The Guards said the strike was in retaliation for what they described as an air attack on a telecommunications tower in Iran's southern Sirik county, in Hormozgan province, according to Iranian state media.

The US military has denied an Israeli media report that it is preparing for a possible resumption of strikes against Iran, dismissing claims of changes to its regional force posture as "pure speculation."

Responding to Anadolu Agency, a US Central Command (CENTCOM) official said there were no updates to the US force posture in the Middle East.

The denial followed a report by the Israeli public broadcaster KAN, which cited a US official as saying that CENTCOM had urged Israel to prepare for a possible resumption of military strikes against Iran in the near future.

Israel has killed 11 Palestinians, including a child, a woman and a doctor, and wounded around 40 others in its attacks across besieged Gaza.

The attacks came amid continued Israeli violations of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas that took effect on October 10, 2025.

Israel has killed 1,622 Palestinians in violation of the ceasefire, and over 74,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, since the start of the genocide in October 2023.

More than 333,000 people have been displaced in Yemen since the beginning of August amid an escalation in fighting, including over 24,000 in the past week alone, the UN said.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said civilians "continue to pay a heavy price as violence damages health facilities, forces families from their homes, and hinders the work of humanitarians."

US President Donald Trump has said that he may use military force against Iran "right now" if US allies and ships are threatened.

Asked during an interview with the Salem News Channel whether he would hesitate to use force to stop Iran from "terrorising our allies and our ships," he answered: "No hesitation. We're doing very well with it right now."

"But the answer is, if I saw things going the other way, I would do that, and it’s possible I would do it right now," he added.
