Sources disagree on:

• Saba Agency (via @ME_Observer_) reports two Saudi airstrikes on a communications network in Bani Ma'in, Razih district, while Al-Masirah (via Tasnim News) reports a single attack in the Bani Mu'een area without naming a district.
• The locality names (Bani Ma'in in Razih district versus Bani Mu'een) may be transliterations of the same place, but the sources do not establish this.
