Verification
Disputed: 2 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Casualties: the Middle East Eye headline says Houthi attacks reportedly killed at least five in Taiz, but the Saba-sourced claim reports at least one person injured and no deaths (killed count unknown).
- Scope: Al Jazeera describes attacks on residential areas and hospitals, while the Saba-sourced claim describes a single attack on one hospital.
- Weapon type: Al Jazeera describes the attacks as shelling; the Saba-sourced item says only 'attack' without naming a weapon.
- Timing: the Saba-sourced item places the attack early on Tuesday, while Al Jazeera gives only its report time (12:57 UTC) and no time of occurrence.
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.
