Two reports describe four air raids on Bani Ma'adh (also spelled Bani Moath) in Sa'ada, northern Yemen, on 20 October 2026. Middle East Eye, citing Houthi-affiliated media, attributes the strikes to Yemeni forces. An X roundup by @ME_Observer_ attributes them to Saudi aircraft. Neither has been confirmed by an official source.
