Houthis attempted to target ‘dozens of airports, oil facilities and ports in Saudi Arabia’: Turki al-Maliki

Thu, 15 Oct 2026 14:07:08 +0000

Turki al-Maliki says the Houthis have attempted to target dozens of airports, oil facilities and ports in Saudi Arabia. The coalition has destroyed 127 Houthi militia depots in mountainous areas, added the Saudi-led coalition spokesman. “The terrorist attack on King Khalid International Airport was carried out using 10 drones, missiles, and other projectiles,” he said.

Iran coordinating Houthi operations in Saudi Arabia alongside IRGC specialists

Sun, 11 Oct 2026 19:41:31 +0000

Iran has been supporting the Houthis with weapons and technology transfers taking place regularly, says Ibrahim Jalal, a Yemeni defence analyst. “The very infrastructure that the Houthis have used to strike Saudi territorial depth is transferred by the Iranians, and the training and military professionalisation has been also overseen by IRGC specialists on the ground,” Jalal told Al Jazeera. “So in many ways it is coordinated and signed off, not necessarily publicly, but they have their own ways of approving and agreeing on a regional access escalation.” The Houthis have spearheaded this escalation to consolidate the new position of the Revolutionary Guard’s “axis of resistance” following setbacks in Lebanon and Syria in recent years, he explained. But it’s also to ensure the Houthis “grow even more resilient and adept in ensuring that they remain the last functional proxy by Bab al-Mandeb”, said Jalal.

Houthis target Saudi airports in ‘airport for airport’ retaliation strategy

Sun, 11 Oct 2026 08:15:05 +0000

There hasn’t been a statement by the armed forces spokesperson for the Ansar Allah Houthi group claiming responsibility for the attack on King Khalid International Airport. But they have stated previously that Saudi airports will be one of their main targets, and this is what we are seeing. As part of their “blockade for blockade” equation and “airport for airport”, this is precisely the formula that the Yemeni group is applying because of the attacks, according to the Ansar Allah Houthis, on Sanaa International Airport and because of the Saudi air strikes across various Yemeni provinces under the control of the group. Their way of retaliation, according to the group, is by attacking Saudi Arabia’s most precious assets, which are Aramco oil facilities and the airport in Riyadh, which is considered their biggest aviation hub. Although Saudi Arabia has said it will retaliate, let’s not forget that it’s carried out many air strikes across Yemen, and the Yemeni group is still able to launch ballistic missiles and drones towards Saudi Arabia.

Yemen’s pro-government Saba news agency is quoting a military source as saying that Yemeni government forces have taken control of Mocha, a strategic port city west of Taiz province seized by the Houthis last month.

Yemeni government forces’ battle against Houthis could take ‘years’

Mon, 05 Oct 2026 08:32:26 +0000

The ⁠military operation by the internationally recognised government of Yemen to retake ⁠⁠territory held by ⁠⁠the Houthis will be long and difficult, a defence analyst says. “All signs are pointing towards a long battle,” said Baraa Shiban, associate fellow in international security at the Royal United Services Institute. “We might be witnessing yet another round of years of conflict inside Yemen. And, unfortunately, it’s the Yemeni public who are going to bear the brunt of this escalation,” he told Al Jazeera from Istanbul. While some suggest the operation will wrap up quickly, Shiban said the reality is otherwise. “I don’t think it’s going to be an easy and quick operation. We might be looking into years.” The already long-running conflict also points towards a failure of the international community, which despite a ceasefire in 2022 has been unable to achieve any breakthrough towards a lasting peace, he added. “The UN envoy to Yemen hasn’t been able to meet the Houthis for more than two years now, so it’s a failure on all levels – of course, internally but also for the mediators and international community.”

Houthis say Aramco sites targeted in Saudi capital, Khurais area

Sun, 04 Oct 2026 14:12:04 +0000

Yemen’s Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree says the group launched a ballistic missile and drone attack on Saudi energy giant Aramco’s sites in capital Riyadh and the oil-rich Khurais area in the kingdom’s east. “Both operations successfully achieved their objectives,” Saree said in a statement posted on X. “The strikes were precise causing large fires at the targeted sites.” There was no immediate response from Saudi Arabia. The militia described the attacks as retaliation for Saudi strikes on Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, and threatened further bombings of Saudi military and oil facilities. “[The] enemy continues its unjust aggression against our people by launching more aggressive air strikes, which during the past 12 hours amounted to 50 air strikes and missiles targeting the capital, Sanaa, and the governorates of al-Jawf, Taiz, Amran, Hajjah, and Sadah,” said Saree.

Houthis claim attack on Saudi oil facility near Riyadh — energy crisis could worsen

Sun, 04 Oct 2026 04:28:23 +0000

Yemen’s Houthis say they have attacked a major oil facility in Saudi Arabia with ballistic missiles and drones. The claim came after flames and a large plume of smoke were seen rising from the Aramco refinery on Saturday, and firefighters tackled the blaze. There was no immediate statement from Saudi authorities or Aramco on the cause of the fire. Yahya Saree, the Houthi spokesman, said in a post on X that the attacks caused fires at the targeted sites and were in response to Saudi air raids on the territory the group controls in Yemen, including Sanaa. He claimed there have been some 60 air attacks on Houthi-controlled territory in past 24 hours.

Saudi Arabia intercepts wave of Houthi missiles as oil climbs to one-week high

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 05:36:42 +0000

The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said the missiles were aimed at Taif and the Yanbu area on the Red Sea, the main alternative route for Saudi oil. Saudi Arabia says it intercepted six ballistic missiles fired by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis, with the latest attacks pushing oil prices to a one-week high over fears of spiralling supply disruptions. The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said the missiles were aimed at Taif in western Saudi Arabia and the Yanbu area on the Red Sea, with the Houthis claiming their attacks were aimed at 'a sensitive target' in the capital Riyadh and on Saudi Aramco facilities in Tanbu. Oil prices climbed about 3%, but trade was volatile and prices came off session highs after reports the US and Iran discussed reopening the strait of Hormuz.

Senior Yemeni official praises proposed US sanctions bill against Houthis

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 08:49:44 +0000

A member of Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council has praised US Congressman Joe Wilson for his plans to introduce the “Yemen Liberation from Iran Act”, a proposed bill aimed at imposing sanctions on the Houthis and their supporters. Abdullah al-Alimi made the remarks during a meeting with Wilson in New York, according to a statement posted by Yemen’s Foreign Ministry on X. The two discussed developments in Yemen and threats to shipping in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb strait. Al-Alimi said the threat posed by the Houthis was “no longer an internal Yemeni matter” but had become “a direct challenge to regional and international security”, according to the ministry’s statement. He called for an international response against the group’s sources of funding, weapons and technology, alongside support for Yemen’s military and security forces.

Fierce fighting continues in Yemen, but neither side making big gains

Mon, 21 Sep 2026 04:59:45 +0000

Reporting from Taiz, Yemen There are military operations being carried out by government forces supported by warplanes and drones along various fronts that generally extend across the northern and western regions. The most prominent and fiercest front is the western coast front along the mountain range stretching from the western countryside of Taiz towards Lahj. The fighting is extremely fierce. The government forces are still engaged in heavy clashes with the Houthis in those areas, in an attempt to halt the attacks that the group has been carrying out for several days to take control of that strategic area. The area is surrounded by a mountain range that provides protection on two fronts – not only the western coast and the Bab al-Mandeb and Mocha, but also Taiz governorate from the interior and the surrounding rural areas. Inland, neither [side] is making significant progress. And it is difficult to speak of any advance by either force, particularly given the extremely challenging strategic location.

As Houthis grab Bab al-Mandeb, US appears willing to watch from sidelines

Fri, 18 Sep 2026 16:01:33 +0000

United States officials met Houthi representatives at the US embassy in the Omani capital, Muscat, over the weekend after the Iran-aligned movement seized thousands of square kilometres of territory in just a few days. With strategically important islands and large stretches of Yemen’s Red Sea coast now under Houthi control, the group has tightened its grip on the Bab al-Mandeb strait – a crucial chokepoint for global shipping and energy supplies. During the talks, the Houthis assured US officials that they had no intention of attacking US shipping in the Red Sea, saying their restrictions would apply only to vessels linked to Saudi Arabia. But that would still leave two of the world’s most important shipping routes facing serious disruption, with traffic through the Strait of Hormuz restricted for the past six months. Any further disruption could drive global oil and consumer prices even higher, creating another political headache for US President Donald Trump before midterm elections in November.

Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council Chairman Rashad al-Alimi says that Houthi forces are suffering heavy blows on the front lines in Taiz, Marib, Lahj, al-Jawf, Hajjah, al-Bayda and al-Dhale. In a meeting with the French Ambassador to Yemen, Catherine Corm-Kammoun, al-Alimi said gains made by the Houthis along the Red Sea coast are temporary, the state-run Saba news agency reported. “The state and its armed forces are fully capable of regaining the initiative on the west coast,” al-Alimi said. The Iran-backed Houthis seized territories on Yemen’s Red Sea coast in a lightning advance. Government forces, backed by Saudi Arabia, have since fought to regain control of southwestern Yemen.

Yemen’s Houthis say they struck oil facilities located in Saudi Arabia’s port city of Yanbu and the Khamis Mushait airbase. The group said the attacks off the Red Sea coast were responses to a barrage of missiles launched by Saudi Arabia on Houthi positions this week. “The first targeted the Aramco facility in Yanbu with dozens of ballistic missiles and drones, the strikes were precise and direct, thanks be to Allah, causing large fires and widespread destruction,” a statement from the Houthi military forces said.

BREAKING: The Trump administration made a deal with the Houthis — reportedly promising not to strike Houthi-held territory or support Saudi-backed forces, in exchange for keeping the Bab el-Mandeb open to shipping, per Reuters. It came just days after Donald Trump rejected the Saudi Crown Prince's request for U.S. strikes on the Houthis. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman called Trump twice asking for American firepower. Trump refused both times. The meeting was held at the U.S. Embassy in Muscat. The Houthi delegation included senior official Mohammad Abdulsalam, who is under U.S. sanctions. The Houthis told U.S. officials they had no intention of attacking American vessels and were committed to the 2025 ceasefire — except those belonging to Saudi Arabia. The meeting also came just days after the Houthis captured Yemen's entire Red Sea coastline and Perim Island in the Bab el-Mandeb, routing Saudi-backed forces.

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 08:48:14 +0000

The Houthis have claimed a “large-scale military operation” on Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait using dozens of ballistic missiles and drones. Yahya Saree, Houthi military spokesman, says the attack was in response to more than 300 Saudi air strikes in recent days and vowed the group will “continue operations deep within Saudi territory as long as the aggression persists”. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei says Iran is playing no role “whatsoever” in Yemen’s unfolding crisis. Today’s planned meeting with Gulf officials in Muscat was cancelled at the behest of Saudi Arabia, Baghaei said, amid the flare-up in fighting. He also denied reports of nuclear activity at Pickaxe Mountain and accused the US and Israel of committing war crimes by targeting civilians since the start of the war. Israel has carried out a series of dawn raids across the occupied West Bank, shooting and wounding one Palestinian man and arresting a number of others. Iranian authorities have seized properties from 240 people accused of affiliations with Israel and other “hostile countries”.

Houthis pledge to continue attacks on ‘Saudi military concentrations until aggression ceases’

Yahya Saree, military spokesman for the Ansar Allah Houthi armed forces, says fighting against Saudi-backed forces will continue until the siege is lifted on areas in Yemen that the Houthis control. He added: A large-scale military operation was carried out against King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait using dozens of ballistic missiles and drones. The operation targeted aircraft hangars, radar systems, runways, and ammunition depots at King Khalid Air Base. The attack achieved direct hits and caused significant damage within the base. The operation was in response to more than 300 Saudi air attacks on Yemeni governorates over the past five days. The Saudi air attacks were carried out by F-15 and Typhoon aircraft launched from the Khamis Mushait and Taif bases. The Ansar Allah armed forces will continue operations deep within Saudi territory as long as the aggression persists. Any new aggression will be met with broader and more intense operations. We will continue to target Saudi military concentrations until the aggression ceases and the blockade on Yemen is lifted.

Can the Houthis control the Red Sea?

Sat, 12 Sep 2026 08:32:25 +0000

Houthi forces have captured the whole of Yemen’s Red Sea coastline, reaching all the way to the critically important Bab al-Mandeb shipping gateway, as the group’s rapid offensive continued on Friday. On Thursday, the Houthis seized the port city of Mocha, dealing a heavy blow to the Yemeni government backed by neighbouring Saudi Arabia. The offensives could be particularly damaging for Saudi Arabia and its oil exports. The Houthis, who declared a blockade of Saudi-flagged ships in the Red Sea earlier in the year, now have a much firmer control of the Bab al-Mandeb waterway, which Riyadh increasingly relies on for oil exports following blockades of the Strait of Hormuz at the entrance to the Gulf, experts say.

Yemeni government counteroffensive mostly consisting of aerial attacks

Sat, 12 Sep 2026 08:28:51 +0000

The government counteroffensive mainly consists of air strikes accompanied by Saudi fighter jets, targeting any military gathering and weapon depots – anywhere there’s military arsenal being piled up and reinforced; that’s mainly what these fighter jets are targeting. With the takeover of Mocha and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, the Houthis have a larger landscape to work their asymmetric naval warfare. They’re now able to use short-range missiles as opposed to before the takeover, when they were only using long-range precision missiles.

The Houthis are setting conditions to establish the Bab al Mandeb Strait

Sat, 12 Sep 2026 07:27:56 +0000

NEW: The Houthis are setting conditions to establish the Bab al Mandeb Strait as an Axis of Resistance-controlled body of water as part of the Axis of Resistance’s effort to assert control over regional oil exports. Allowing the Houthis to consolidate control over the Bab al Mandeb would be unacceptable for US national security and economic interests. Other Key Takeaways: Houthi officials and organizations have emphasized that the Houthis intend to maintain “safe” shipping in the Bab al Mandeb, but the Houthis’ recent advances set conditions for the Houthis to be able to threaten shipping more easily if they decide it is in their interest to do so. Public Houthi statements may not necessarily reflect the Houthis’ true intentions regarding the strait. The Houthis’ seizure of Yemen’s Red Sea coast and Perim Island in the Bab al Mandeb Strait enables the Houthis to use a broader range of weapons systems to threaten shipping in the Bab al Mandeb. The Houthis could also use their new positions to deploy anti-shipping methods that the group deployed further away from shipping lanes in northern Yemen during the 2023-2025 Houthi campaign against international shipping. The Houthis are conducting a coordinated effort with other Axis of Resistance members to coerce Saudi Arabia to meet Houthi demands by attacking Saudi energy infrastructure. The Saudi Foreign Ministry announced that an unspecified actor launched several drones from Iraq that struck the East-West Pipeline and nearby pumping stations south of Medina, Medina Province, on September 10. The Shia Coordination Framework, which includes some Iranian-backed parties, is reportedly divided and considering several proposals to disarm Iranian-backed Iraqi militias amid US pressure and the nearing September 30 disarmament deadline. These options appear designed to enable the militias to maintain access to their weapons. (1/2)

BREAKING: Yemen's Houthis might have directly struck Saudi Arabia's East-West crude oil pipeline in the desert southeast of Medina. Sentinel-3 satellite imagery from today shows a massive black smoke plume nearly 100 km long over the pipeline route, stretching across the desert between Medina and Mahd adh Dhahab. Satellite fire data shows a large fire burning at the same spot, with multiple heat anomalies clustered along a stretch of under 10 kilometers, fire radiative power above 70 megawatts, more than double a conventional fire, and the burn sustained for at least 8 hours, per NASA FIRMS data from today. The East-West pipeline carries Saudi crude from Abqaiq to Yanbu on the Red Sea, the kingdom's only export route that does not pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The fire comes amid Houthi attacks on Saudi territory over the past 24 hours.
