Corroborated · Northern Yemen, Yemen (approximate: northern Yemen) ·
According to the Associated Press, as carried by Haaretz, a Saudi-led coalition airstrike killed at least nine people in northern Yemen. Drop Site News reports at least 10 killed, including five children, in a strike on a family home attributed to Saudi Arabia. The 53-dead figure in the Haaretz headline describes a separate Houthi attack on a government base in southern Yemen and is not part of this event.

Verification
Corroborated: 2 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Casualties differ: AP (via Haaretz) says at least nine killed; Drop Site News says at least 10 killed, including five children, and does not name its casualty source.
- Location differs in precision: AP places the strike in northern Yemen; Drop Site News says only 'Yemen'.
- The Haaretz/AP post's headline describes a Houthi missile attack on a Saudi-backed government base in southern Yemen killing 53, which conflicts with its own body text about a Saudi-led airstrike in northern Yemen; the 53 figure is treated as a different incident and not counted here.
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.
