5 September 2026 in brief
Fighting between Yemen's government forces and the Houthis killed more than 60 people, AFP reported, including six civilians on a bus in Taiz, according to a medical source. [1] Iran fired ballistic missiles at two US warships; US Central Command said both evaded the attack and no personnel were harmed, while the IRGC claimed both were damaged, which is disputed. [1] CENTCOM said it then disabled two Iranian tankers, off Kharg Island and near Jask, and destroyed a third in the Gulf of Oman. [1] The IRGC navy said it targeted three tankers using what it called unauthorised routes in the Strait of Hormuz and three US vessels, with no US confirmation. [1] Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya command warned that strikes on US vessels would become more severe if the naval blockade continued.
