Video released by Yemen's armed forces on Thursday (September 17) was said to show strikes on Houthi positions in Taiz and Mocha, in western Yemen.

The aerial video showed a series of explosions purportedly targeting Houthi positions.

Reuters partially verified the location by the terrain, road layout and trees, which matched satellite imagery.

The date when the footage was filmed could not be verified.

No older versions of the video were found posted online before September 17, 2026.
