Yemen's internationally recognized government said its forces struck Houthi fighters, vehicles, and weapons in and around Mokha. [1] Al Jazeera filed spokesman Majed Abdullah al-Nazili naming positions near the port and along the Mokha-Dhubab road. [1] Thursday this paper printed Houthi forces taking Mokha. A claimed strike is not a recapture. Print the claim. Do not print a new port.

Friday added Perim. Saturday does not recapture Perim either. Mokha is not Hormuz. Do not stitch this to a blank prohibited zone. Do not spend an island that belongs to Monday.

Saba's count of destroyed vehicles is a government count. [1] Independent confirmation of a retaken quay is not in Saturday's fetched copy. Print Thursday's port as still Thursday's. Leave a named recapture to the edition that owns a named recapture.

Strikes near ports signal without seizing; Saturday's government action stays in the air. Recapture needs boots, not bombs. The quay keeps Thursday's flag.

Flagged quays hold; Thursday's flag flies. Flying flags signal. Boots decide later.

Boots decide recapture; Saturday's strike stays in the air. The mainland harbor is still Thursday's. Perim is Friday's island, not this bomb.

Al-Nazili spoke for a strike, not for a harbor already taken back. Vehicle wrecks in the government tally have no independent audit. The port story on this clock is still Thursday's capture. Saturday does not reprint a recapture.

The port story is still Thursday's capture. Saturday does not reprint a recapture. Saturday does not mint Hanish.
