Houthis launch missile attacks on Saudi Arabia and Yemeni government-held Aden as Saudi-led coalition strikes Sanaa
On October 24, 2026, the Houthis fired ballistic missiles at Saudi cities and at Aden International Airport, while the Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted missiles aimed at Taif and Yanbu. Houthi media reported Saudi air strikes on Sanaa that killed civilians, with death tolls varying by outlet. The escalation follows the collapse of a 2022 UN-brokered truce in July.
