Disputed · Dhamar, Yemen ·
The Saudi-led coalition says it targeted a site in Dhamar province that it says was used to supply the Houthis. OSINTdefender, relaying a post by @ariel_oseran, reports Saudi strikes on Houthi port and oil infrastructure in Dhamar and Sanaa, citing a video of a large explosion. Middle East Eye and Al Jazeera English report the coalition strikes, dated 12 to 13 October 2026 in the sources; Al Jazeera English describes the targets only as Houthi 'vital assets' in Yemen.

Verification
Disputed: 2 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Target: the coalition describes a site used to supply the Houthis, OSINTdefender describes port and oil infrastructure, the repost describes oil depots, and the Middle East Eye headline describes an oil firm in Sanaa.
- Location: the coalition and Middle East Eye place the strike in Dhamar only, OSINTdefender reports strikes in Dhamar and Sanaa, and Al Jazeera English gives only 'Yemen'.
- Attacker wording: the repost says 'Saudi forces', while the coalition, Middle East Eye and Al Jazeera English say 'Saudi-led coalition' and OSINTdefender says 'Saudi Arabia'.
- Timing: Middle East Eye gives an occurrence time of 12 October 2026 21:00 UTC, OSINTdefender says 'today' in a 13 October post, and Al Jazeera English is dated 14 October 2026.
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.
