Two open-source and party-aligned X accounts reported strikes on Yemen's capital on 3 October 2026. Osint613 posted that the Royal Saudi Air Force is conducting renewed airstrikes on Houthi-controlled Sanaa and Saada, and that Houthi air defences were operating and targeting RSAF fighter aircraft. Al-Masirah separately posted that Saudi aggression hit the capital, Sanaa. Neither post gives a date for the strikes themselves, a strike count, target descriptions or casualty or damage figures, and neither names a source for its assertions. No official Saudi or Houthi statement was read.

Evidence: RSAF airstrikes on Houthi-controlled Sanaa and Saada, Saudi aggression on the capital Sanaa

Two X posts from open-source and Houthi-run accounts reporting strikes on the Yemeni capital: Osint613 reports renewed RSAF airstrikes on Houthi-controlled Sanaa and Saada with Houthi air defences engaging, and Al-Masirah separately reports Saudi attacks on the capital. Neither names a source for its assertions, the Al-Masirah post gives no date for the strikes themselves, and no official Saudi or Houthi statement, independent imagery verification or strike count was read.
