Saudi-led coalition says it struck Houthi facilities

Oct 27, 2026

Sanaa [Yemen], October 24: The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthis has said it carried out a military operation "aimed at neutralising sources of threat", as the armed group claimed attacks on infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
Coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki said on Monday its forces destroyed four ballistic missile launchers and five tunnels used by the Houthis to store missiles.
In a post on X, he also said coalition forces attacked a missile depot, adding that the operation "focused on cutting off Houthi militia supply lines between areas under their control". The operation also targeted Houthi "fortifications, gatherings of their members, and their military equipment along the front lines inside Yemen". The Houthis - also known as Ansar Allah, Arabic for Supporters of God - have carried out a wave of strikes in recent weeks against Saudi airports and other infrastructure. This follows a major escalation in fighting in Yemen's war, in which Saudi Arabia is supporting the internationally recognised government fighting the Houthis.
A Houthi attack on Riyadh's King Khalid international airport this month killed 13 people and wounded more than 300, the deadliest attack on the kingdom in more than a decade. The attacks led to the airport's temporary closure, forcing the postponement of Saudi Arabia's flagship investment conference until 2027 and disrupting travel plans for thousands of passengers.
