Sources disagree on:
- The Taiz branch of the Human Rights Commission, relayed by ME Observer, says a family of eight was killed in one house, while ME Observer's own post gives an initial toll of six for the home of Abdo Bajash and the Yemen health ministry gives at least seven killed across two houses; these tolls cannot all be exact, but the incident itself is not in doubt.
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.
