Houthis say Saudi strikes kill 11 after missiles intercepted
- On Saturday, October 24, 2026, Saudi-led coalition airstrikes on Sanaa killed 11 civilians, according to Houthi-linked media, shortly after the coalition intercepted two Houthi-fired missiles aimed at Taif and Yanbu.
- Houthi forces seized control of the Red Sea coast last month, fueling escalation in the conflict and prompting repeated attacks on critical Saudi infrastructure, including oil facilities and airports.
- A separate airstrike on a cement factory residence in Sanaa governorate killed six women and one child, according to Houthi-run Al-Masirah, while Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed the group targeted the Yanbu Aramco facility.
- The U.S. Department of State ordered non-essential embassy staff and families to leave Saudi Arabia this week, while officials updated travel advisories for multiple Middle East countries citing persistent Houthi threats.
- Riyadh has led a military coalition in Yemen since 2015, a conflict dormant until erupting this past July; renewed violence now exacerbates an already dire humanitarian crisis and threatens global energy supply chains.
