(Previous Incident Code: YEMT109)

Some local language sources, including @MasirahTV, suggested that a US drone strike took place in the Sirwah district of Marib governorate on the morning of November 4th.

All sources posted on November 4th 2017 itself. There were no known associated reports of civilian or militant harm, and no further information was given.

Given that all of the sources were roughly identical, it appears that all were derived from a single source (perhaps @_H0rh).  As such, this incident has been assessed to be a single-source claim by Airwars.
