🇾🇪 - Yemen Today confirms explosions were heard in the al-Hajjah and Amran Governorates, Ansarullah-controlled Yemen, while the unidentified jets were airborne earlier today.

🇵🇱🇷🇺⚡- "Russia is planning an armed “provocation” on Polish soil to test NATO's resolve, the United States has warned.

Polish critical infrastructure could be targeted by missiles and drones or Russian soldiers could cross the border into NATO territory.

Washington has issued several warnings to Warsaw about the plot. The goal of the Russian provocation would be to escalate tensions and force Western allies to suspend aid to Ukraine. It could be launched in a matter of months.

Polish security sources have also not ruled out a more conventional attack, such as a small ground incursion of Russian soldiers across NATO's eastern [Baltic + Poland] flank.

Provocation scenarios could include a drone attack on critical infrastructure, such as power stations, or simulated air strikes that would force Poland to activate its air defence systems. Armed incursion involving Russian or Belarusian soldiers was conceivable. This could be presented by Russia as an accidental straying into Polish territory because of a GPS failure, or as a dubious rescue mission to retrieve a helicopter suffering from a malfunction," - Sources close to Karol Nawrocki, the Polish President, told the Polish outlet Onet.

Note, Rerum Novarum has no explanation for why the soldier appears to have his pants down or removed.

🇾🇪🇸🇦🇮🇷⚡- Ansarullah spokesman Yahya Saree stated that Saudi aircraft entered Yemeni airspace and attempted to prevent an Iranian aircraft from landing and taking off from Sana'a. According to Saree, the aircraft was transporting a Houthi delegation to Tehran to attend the funeral of Ali Khamenei.

Saree also confirmed reports of air defense activity, corroborating earlier reporting by Rerum Novarum.

Iran's arrival at Sana'a broke an eleven year Saudi blockade of Ansarullah-controlled Yemen.

🇮🇷🇸🇦 - During Ali Khamenei's funeral, every Muslim delegation had a verse from the Quran recited in Arabic. For the Saudi delegation, the Iranians chose an interesting passage, with a clear political meaning:

"There was a sign [lesson] for you between the two groups that faced each other. One group was fighting in the way of God, and the other was disbelieving. They [the disbelievers] saw them [the Muslims] double with their own eyes. And God strengthens with His help whom He wills. Surely there is a great lesson in this for the discerning ones [people of wisdom]."
