Unverified · Dhamar, Yemen ·
An anonymous X account (@ME_Observer_) reports that Yemen's Health Ministry condemned alleged Saudi cluster munition use on residential areas in Dhamar as a violation of international humanitarian law. The claims give no casualty figures and no independent confirmation or denial. A separate Tasnim News (Telegram) item relays a Yemeni Foreign Ministry statement from Sanaa urging OIC foreign ministers meeting in Baghdad to help end Saudi aggression and the blockade, but it does not mention Dhamar or cluster munitions.

Verification
Unverified: 1 independent source.
Sources disagree on:
- Attribution differs: the X post credits the Health Ministry with the Dhamar condemnation, while the Tasnim item credits a Foreign Ministry statement made in Sanaa about the OIC meeting and the blockade.
- The rules pass grouped the Tasnim item with the X post, but the Tasnim item does not address Dhamar or cluster munitions, so it does not corroborate the event.
- The X post is anonymous with unknown alignment and no media attached, while the Tasnim item is a partisan Iranian-aligned relay of a Yemeni government statement.
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.
