Verification
Disputed: 2 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Yemen Online says Yemeni forces repelled a Houthi attack in Lahj; Middle East Spectator says Ansarallah (Houthis) made major advances there, capturing towns and heights. The two accounts disagree on who is attacking, who is advancing, and the outcome.
- Yemen Online reports hundreds of displaced families; Middle East Spectator makes no mention of displacement, and no casualty or displacement figures are given by either source.
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.
