Hey, here’s what happened today. In Yemen, a Houthi missile slammed into a crowded road near Taiz, killing four people and wounding nine on a bus. The same day, fighting pushed from Taiz and Hudaydah all the way to Marib, Shabwah and Hadramawt, though no one was reported hurt in those clashes. Over in Russia, a missile hit the Kametstal plant in Kamensk‑Uralsky, shutting it down but not injuring anyone. A few hours later, Russian missiles struck an enterprise in Kamianske, killing five, and Russian shelling in Dnipropetrovsk also caused fatalities. In Ukraine and Crimea, drones struck near Simferopol, killing the head of the Russian army supply fund. Ukrainian forces hit a drone repeater in Bryansk, and Russian Shahed drones damaged a passenger train heading to Kherson. That’s the snapshot of today’s strikes and clashes.
