The ministry says this activity threatens regional security, and Saudi, Qatari, UAE and Iranian-aligned outlets relay the statement. Hezbollah's Media Relations Office denies that its personnel operate in Yemen and calls the accusations baseless.

Details by origin

Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
