Evidence: Relay of a Saudi-led coalition claim of 82 Houthi targets destroyed

The report is based on the X account War Point Updates, which relays the claim rather than being the Saudi-led coalition itself. No Saudi official statement, no Houthi statement and no independent damage assessment were read. The figure of 82 destroyed targets is presented as the coalition claim in the wording of the post and is not treated as established.
