Conflicting accounts of Al Nasr school’s use before an airstrike
Al Mashhad Al Yemeni cited local sources alleging that Al Nasr school in Al Jabziya, Al Maafir district, was used to gather Houthi fighters and store weapons before an airstrike. The Houthi-affiliated 26 September outlet had already reported a strike on the school, which it blamed on Saudi Arabia, without mentioning military use. The new element is the military-use allegation, not a strike verified to have occurred during this hour. There is no independent verification of the school’s status, the presence of weapons or any casualties.

Single-source report claims Akram Ali Harishi and companions killed in airstrike
Al Sahil Al Gharbi cited an unnamed field security source as saying that Akram Ali Harishi, described as a Houthi commander, and several companions were killed in an airstrike on Monday evening in Al Zahari, near Mokha. It did not specify the number of companions or the time of the strike, and there is no Houthi confirmation or independent evidence of the identities and deaths. This claim is not added to a verified death toll.

New details on the Sabr toll, with the number wounded still unclear
Al Mushahid quoted Taiz’s siege affairs director as reporting 5 civilians killed and 6 wounded in shelling and sniper fire he blamed on the Houthis, naming the dead and describing displacement from two villages on Jabal Sabr. The office’s earlier toll of 5 dead and 5 wounded was already covered, so the two totals are not added together. The new report also names only 5 injured people despite stating 6 in its opening. The injury count and incident times need clarification and independent medical verification.
