Corroborated · Dhubab, Yemen ·
The Houthis say Saudi air and missile strikes killed eight fishermen in Yemen, according to Xinhua's relay of their claim. Al Mayadeen's correspondent, reported on X, says Saudi aircraft struck fishermen a second time as they tried to flee an earlier raid off Dhubab's coast, killing survivors; that report gives no death figure.

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.
