Yemen's government armed forces said they will respond to Houthi attacks at an appropriate time and place.

At 18:00 on Aug 8 the Ministry of Water Resources and the China Meteorological Administration issued a red-level mountain-flood meteorological warning for 23 contiguous counties in Zhejiang. At 20:00 the Ministry upgraded Zhejiang's flood-defense emergency response from Level IV to Level III under its flood-drought emergency response procedures, directing local water authorities to closely monitor rainfall and river conditions, strengthen monitoring/forecasting/warning, and conduct rolling joint analysis. The Ministry ordered enforcement of five evacuation responsibilities—who organizes, who moves, when to move, where to move, and no unauthorized returns—and prioritized evacuations and protection plans for water-linked tourist sites, eldercare institutions, resorts and farm stays, construction camps, and flood-prone roads. A Ministry working group has been dispatched to the typhoon, heavy-rain and flood defense frontline in Zhejiang to assist and advise local authorities.
