Here's where things stand tonight. The biggest story is out of Yemen, where the air force carried out 15 airstrikes on Houthi positions in Taiz and Al-Hudaydah provinces. That figure comes from both Anadolu and Al Jazeera Arabic, and so far no casualties have been reported from any of the strikes. In Lebanon, things turned deadly. Israeli strikes on Nebatiye and Sur in the south killed three people and injured several more. According to Middle East Eye, those strikes came after a Hezbollah drone launch, and Israeli forces also hit Mifdoun and the Beqaa Valley, with no casualties reported there. Then there's Mexico, where a car bomb went off in Zacatecas. The country's security chief says a suspected cartel dispute is behind it, and again, no casualties have been reported. And in Ukraine, the pace of fighting stayed intense, with 216 combat engagements along the frontline since the start of the day, according to Ukrainska Pravda. That's the picture for now. We'll keep tracking it as more comes in.
Yemen's big night of strikes
The biggest cluster of news tonight is out of Yemen. The country's air force carried out 15 airstrikes on Houthi positions in Taiz and Al-Hudaydah provinces, according to Anadolu Agency. Al Jazeera Arabic reported the same figure, saying Yemeni warplanes hit 15 Houthi militia sites across the two provinces.
Separate reports from Anadolu confirmed individual strikes in both Hudaydah and Taiz, all coming in late in the evening. No casualties have been reported from any of these strikes so far.
Deadly strikes in Lebanon
In Lebanon, Israeli strikes turned deadly. Three people were killed and several others injured in strikes on Nebatiye and Sur in the south, per Anadolu. Al Jazeera Arabic separately reported three killed in Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon.

Mexico blast and Ukraine front
Over in Mexico, a car bomb exploded in Zacatecas. The country's security chief pointed to a suspected cartel dispute behind it, according to Anadolu. No casualties have been reported.
And in Ukraine, the fighting tempo stayed high. Ukrainska Pravda reported 216 combat engagements along the frontline since the start of the day. No casualty figures came with that report.
