Airwars assessment

At least three people were reported injured after alleged US-UK airstrikes on Dhamar city during the evening of 4 October, 2024.

While the Yemeni Ministry of Health, referenced by several sources, alleged four injured, Al Araby TV reported that “4 [were] wounded in US-British raids, 3 of them in Dhamar”, implying that only three people had been injured in the airstrikes in Dhamar.

Al Mayaden alleged that “4 aggressive raids” occurred north of the capital. Facebook user Abdallah alleged that the four strikes occurred within the capital, and that only one occurred in Dhamar.

No further information about the wounded was made available. Due to the lack of clarifying information regarding proposed civilian harm, Airwars has currently graded this incident as “weak”.

Images posted by sources @SULTANAH___KSA, @mohgezan,  and Abdallah have not been archived within this incident as they have been identified as images relating to different events in Yemen.

The incident occured in the evening.
