Unverified · Yemen, Yemen (approximate) ·
Yemen's Communications Ministry says more than 900 telecom sites and stations (902 by one count) have gone out of service, which it attributes to Saudi airstrikes since early August. Both posts relay this single ministry statement through the same X account, @ME_Observer_, and no independent source has confirmed or denied the figures.

Verification
Unverified: 1 independent source.
Sources disagree on:
- Both posts come from the same account, @ME_Observer_, and relay the same ministry statement, so the two posts do not corroborate each other.
- Post 1 gives 902 sites and describes the damage as occurring in the 'recent escalation' without naming an attacker; post 2 says 'over 900' sites and names Saudi Arabia as the attacker, dating the strikes to early August.
- Timestamps differ (17:29 UTC in post 1, 13:28 UTC in post 2), which is consistent with a later repost rather than a conflicting account.
