This comes after the Houthi group claimed on Tuesday, November 10, to have carried out four military operations using ballistic missiles and drones against Saudi targets. These included an Aramco facility and King Khalid International Airport, as well as gatherings of Saudi forces inside Yemen.
The latest interception follows a series of Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia since July 2026, which intensified in October. The attacks have targeted airports, oil facilities and military sites. Several airlines also suspended or adjusted flights to the Kingdom amid the security situation.
Separately, Yemeni Armed Forces spokesperson Colonel Majid Abdullah Al-Nuzaili said around 190 Houthi leaders and members had been killed or wounded. He added that approximately 130 vehicles and pieces of combat equipment had been destroyed or damaged, along with Houthi positions and fortifications.
The developments coincide with fighting between the Houthis and forces supporting Yemen’s internationally recognised government, particularly in Taiz province and areas near the Bab al-Mandab Strait.
Saudi Arabia has led a military coalition in Yemen since March 2015 in support of the internationally recognised government. The Houthis took control of the capital, Sanaa, and other provinces in September 2014. Saudi Arabia and its allies have accused the group of receiving Iranian support.
