Two civilians killed in Houthi strike on Marib, says Yemen’s government
Yemen's government reports at least two civilians killed and 14 injured in a Houthi attack on Marib, while a separate Houthi attack on Saudi Arabia's Najran injured 11, including a woman and a child. Both strikes are described as violations of international humanitarian law.
Yemen's internationally recognised government says at least two civilians were killed and 14 injured in a Houthi attack on the government-held city of Marib. Health Minister Qassem Bahaibah described the Houthis as a “terrorist militia” on X, calling the casualty toll preliminary.
Coverage Comparison
Al Jazeera reported the Marib attack, citing Yemen's health minister and a government statement. The government condemned the attack “in the strongest terms” and said it was a “flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.” Al Jazeera noted that Marib hosts the largest number of displaced families in Yemen, according to the UN refugee agency.
Separately, TASS reported that 11 civilians were injured in a Houthi attack on Saudi Arabia's Najran, citing Saudi-led coalition spokesman Major General Turki Al-Maliki. The injured included a woman and a four-year-old child who suffered second-degree burns.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
