Taif already ran. This is the count through the strait, and the boats that left the village.
Reuters, Seher Dareen, London, Sept. 18, and a Dubai wrap via Daily Sabah, 11:34 a.m. GMT+3: four commodity vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, below the 10-day average of about 16, preliminary shipping data showed Friday. Three LNG vessels also reappeared outside the strait Thursday, Kpler said. Some ships switch off transponders. Four is not 16. The figures can change.
Iranโs Revolutionary Guard Navy, via Iranian state media: a Togo-flagged oil tanker caught fire after being struck while attempting what it called an โillegal passageโ through Hormuz. The tanker stopped after the fire, the Guards said. That is their account. We will not invent a flag-state confirmation or a barrel count from this page.
Saudi Arabia and the Houthis exchanged fresh cross-border strikes Thursday, Reuters said. Houthi television reported Saudi airstrikes in Hajjah, near the Saudi border and the Red Sea coast, and around Taiz. The group said Wednesday it had shot down a Saudi F-15. That is a claim. We will not type a verified kill. Abdul Malik al-Houthi, televised: the Saudis should cease blockade, occupation, and aggression. A speech is not a ceasefire.
International Organization for Migration: more than 100,000 Yemenis displaced in the latest fighting. The United Nations has put the number at about 125,000. In Djibouti, Wahida Omer, 50, reached land after a small-boat crossing from Dhubab when her village came under attack as the Houthis swept in. Her husband was left behind. She did not know whether he was alive, dead, or captured. โThe sea was frightening, difficult.โ Those on the boat were โcrying the whole way, and we arrived still cryingโ with nothing to eat, she told IOM. One womanโs crossing is not 125,000.
Evening already had Taif: one Yemeni dead, two injured. Morning Thursday already had Kahbub. Wednesday already had Cairo. We will not reprint those as first-day news. Hanish is still unverified here.
What this means for you
If you needed Thursdayโs death, that file exists. If you needed 16 ships, the tape is four. If the boats sit too heavy, 988. Not investment advice.
Bottom line: Four ships. 100,000 displaced, IOM. Dhubab boats. Not a Taif reprint. Not 16.
