Local report describes airstrike on a communications tower on Mount Maswam
Aden Al Ghad quoted a local source as saying coalition aircraft struck a communications tower on Mount Maswam in the Ataba area of al-Hasha district. The report presents military use of the tower as suspicion and circulating information, not an established fact. We found no original coalition statement or independent verification of the strike and its damage; Tihama24’s repetition is not treated as an independent source.
