Saudi-led coalition announces operation against Houthi military resources

The Saudi-led coalition announced an operation in Yemen on 1 November 2026 against resources it says the Houthis use to support their war effort. Spokesman Turki al-Maliki presented the action as a response to attacks against Saudi Arabia and Yemen.

The statement cited in Arabic-language media highlights ballistic missile and drone capabilities and threats to shipping in the southern Red Sea. It attributes military use of the resources to the Houthis.

The coalition also announced fresh interceptions of a drone and a missile headed toward the kingdom's south. These claims do not amount to an independent assessment of destroyed targets, losses or effects on Houthi capabilities. The documents consulted do not establish the operation's claimed effectiveness.
