Al-Masirah, the Houthi-run outlet, reported on 5 October 2026 that two Saudi airstrikes hit the Beit Allahida area in Sawaan, Bani Hushayh district, Sanaa governorate, Yemen, killing a female student and injuring two other women. The outlet posted the casualty report at 10:32 UTC and at 11:58 UTC published a post presenting attached video as initial footage of the strike. The posts give no clock time for the strikes themselves. Neither Saudi Arabia nor the internationally recognised Yemeni government confirmed these strikes in the material reviewed, and the casualty figures are the outlet's own account.

Why it matters

The strikes add to the fighting around the Yemeni capital as government forces backed by Saudi air support press a campaign against Houthi-held territory.
