The Sanaa-based health spokesman’s explicit 24 October update reported eight killed and fifteen injured in a Saudi air attack on cement-factory workers’ housing in Hamdan district. He listed four children among the dead. This supersedes his ministry’s earlier preliminary toll for that site; the attack and figures remain attributed.

Verification: unverified

Evidence: Updated Hamdan workers’ housing toll: eight killed, fifteen injured, Ministry of Health: 21 Citizens martyred, injured in attacks on house in Asr, cement factory in Hamdan

The latest direct ministry update gives eight deaths and fifteen injuries. Earlier reports carried different totals and victim breakdowns; they are not added together. Saudi responsibility and the toll lack independent confirmation.
