Disputed · Lahij, Yemen ·
The Houthis say they fired a ballistic missile at Saudi-aligned mobilizations at an iron factory in Lahj Governorate, Yemen, and claim many killed and wounded among Presidential Leadership Council forces. Aden TV reports that a ballistic missile attributed to the Houthis struck a prison at the Iron Factory in Lahj province, with deaths and injuries among detainees. A headline carried by Aden TV's relays gives 14 dead and more than 30 wounded, but the body text gives no figure, and no official confirmation was found.

Sources disagree on:
- The Houthis say the missile targeted Saudi mobilizations at the iron factory, while Aden TV reports it struck a prison at the same site holding detainees, so the two sources disagree on what was hit.
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.
