Houthi authorities accused Saudi Arabia of a strike on a prison in Al-Jawf that killed seven. [1] Al Jazeera filed the Monday seven. [1] Print seven. Do not print a later 23. Do not invent a 300-dead week. An accusation is not a certified coalition admission.

Saudi Arabia issued no named Monday comment in fetched copy. Leave Tuesday's recast and Wednesday's 23 to those editions. Print the accusation. Print seven.

Print seven. Monday is not Wednesday's 23. A Houthi accusation is still an accusation. Leave Tuesday's recast to Tuesday. Print seven as Monday's named Jawf hold. A child in some Houthi copy is still not a certified 23. One-sided accusations still print with caveats; silence doesn't confirm. Print seven as Monday's named hold.

Prison-strike claims invert the usual pattern: the accused jailer cries victim. Riyadh's silence leaves the accusation one-sided. Monday prints seven with the caveat attached.

Caveats travel with accusations; Monday's travel together. Seven with an asterisk prints. The asterisk stays.

Staying asterisks stay; Monday's stays. Seven prints with the caveat. Tuesday recasts later.

India Today and Al Jazeera named seven. Riyadh's silence leaves the accusation one-sided. Wednesday's 23 is another edition.

Al-Jawf's prison strike is a Houthi accusation aimed at Saudi Arabia. Al Jazeera's Monday figure is seven killed, not Wednesday's recast of 23. Riyadh put no named reply on the wire. An unanswered charge remains only a charge.
Seven is Monday's figure, not Wednesday's 23. An unanswered charge remains only a charge. Wednesday's recast waits on another edition.

Seven is Monday's figure, not Wednesday's 23. An unanswered charge remains only a charge. Wednesday's recast waits on another edition.
