Corroborated · Marib, Yemen · 2026-10-31

According to Tabz Live News, the Houthis released footage of sniper operations targeting Saudi-backed PLC forces on the Marib front. Middle East Observer's Telegram channel reports sniping operations against Saudi-affiliated mobilizations on the Marib fronts on October 31, 2026, without naming an armed party. A video posted by @bonzerbarry shows what the post describes as an Ansar sniper hitting moving targets on the Marib front line.

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.
