The Haradh Customs area and several border areas also faced airstrikes, while Saudi artillery targeted Haradh District. Meanwhile, six citizens perished and others sustained injuries in Taiz Governorate due to airstrikes on civilian homes and strategic locations including Jabal Al-Arus and Jabal Sabir.

In Saada Governorate, a child lost their life, another was injured, and multiple homes were destroyed following airstrikes in the Maran area of Haydan District. Additional attacks injured a civilian in Majz District's Dahyan city. The relentless aggression continued as two children were killed and seven civilians injured from shelling in the Dhahir and Shada border districts.
