Description
US strikes Yemen by... ? is a binary market asking whether the United States initiates a drone, missile, or air strike on Yemen soil or on any official Yemen embassy or consulate by the listed date. A strike occurs if aerial bombs, drones or missiles launched by US forces impact Yemen ground territory or embassies/consulates; intercepted missiles or surface-to-air hits do not count. Resolution relies on a consensus of credible reporting; if no qualifying strike is confirmed by the deadline, the market remains open until the end of the second day after that time, and if confirmation cannot be achieved by then, the market resolves to No.

Rules
This market will resolve to "Yes" if the US initiates a drone, missile, or air strike on Yemen soil or any official Yemen embassy or consulate by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". For the purposes of this market, a qualifying "strike" is defined as the use of aerial bombs, drones or missiles (including cruise or ballistic missiles) launched by US military forces that impact Yemen ground territory or any official Yemen embassy or consulate (e.g., if a weapons depot on Yemen soil is hit by an US missile, this market will resolve to "Yes"). Missiles or drones which are intercepted and surface-to-air missile strikes will not be sufficient for a "Yes" resolution regardless of whether they land on Yemen territory or cause damage. Actions such as artillery fire, small arms fire, FPV or ATGM strikes directly, ground incursions, naval shelling, cyberattacks, or other operations conducted by US ground operatives will not qualify. The resolution source will be a consensus of credible reporting. If no qualifying strike is confirmed by the resolution date this market will remain open until the end of the second day after the resolution time. If the date/time of a qualifying strike cannot be confirmed by a consensus of credible reporting by that time, it will resolve to "No" regardless of whether a strike was later confirmed to have taken place.
