Disputed · Aden, Yemen ·
Yemeni armed forces spokesman Yahya Saree, as relayed by Tasnim News, says an attack was carried out on a Saudi military operations headquarters in Aden. Middle East Eye and The Guardian report Houthi missiles or an alleged Houthi attack hitting a Saudi-led coalition command centre or forces headquarters in Aden, and Al Mayadeen reports a military operations centre hit with Saudi officers present. Tasnim, citing a Yemeni military source, says some Saudi officers were killed and injured, but no independent source gives casualty figures and no official confirmation was found.

Verification
Disputed: 4 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Target differs by source: Tasnim/Saba says a Saudi military operations headquarters, The Guardian says the Saudi-led coalition forces headquarters at the presidential palace, Middle East Eye says a Saudi-led coalition command centre, and Al Mayadeen says a military operations centre.
- Casualties: only Tasnim/Saba (citing a Yemeni military source) claims Saudi officers were killed and injured; the other sources give no casualty figures and Al Mayadeen says only that Saudi officers were meeting there.
- Attribution: Tasnim/Saba attributes the strike to the Yemeni armed forces, while Middle East Eye and The Guardian name the Houthis; Middle East Eye hedges with 'alleged' whereas The Guardian states the strike as fact.
- Al Mayadeen's account comes from an anonymous-tier X post relaying an office director and does not name a weapon or time of impact.
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.
