Disputed · Al-Jawf, Yemen (approximate) · 2026-10-30

The Houthis say their forces repelled an offensive by Presidential Leadership Council forces east of Al-Jawf province and destroyed several vehicles, according to footage they released. The @bonzerbarry X account says the Houthis dismounted dozens of PLC fighters there using anti-tank guided missiles, FPV drones and mines. ME Observer (Telegram) posts footage it says shows the expulsion of Saudi-led mobilizations and the destruction of their vehicles east of Al-Jawf on October 30, 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.
