Text: Claims circulating on social media that a Saudi drone strike caused the explosion at the ammunition depot inside Al-Solaban Base, headquarters of the 1st Southern Giants Brigade @alamalikah in Aden, are not supported by any publicly available evidence or by the official findings released thus far. Much of the online content attempting to attribute the explosion to Saudi Arabia has been amplified by anonymous and pseudonymous accounts. The volume and coordination of some of these narratives have led observers to question whether elements of inauthentic online networks or bot-driven amplification may be involved. According to the official military statement, the explosion was not caused by a drone strike or any external attack. Preliminary investigations indicate that an electrical spark ignited the ammunition storage facility, triggering a large secondary explosion. The blast claimed the lives of at least nine members of the 1st Southern Giants Brigade: 1) Haidara Al-Khader Ali 2) Omar Saleh Qasim Abdrabbo 3) Abdullah Abdulkarim Abdullah Salem Al-Ghazali 4) Majed Abdullah Saleh Hadi 5) Mohammed Mahmoud Hassan Naji Abdullah 6) Ahmed Mohsen Ahmed Saeed Al-Dhalaei 7) Mohammed Saleh Al-Hajili Al-Radfani 8) Samed Saif Saleh Al-Yafai 9) Abdul Salam Mohammed Abdrabbo Al-Samimi |
