Houthi media reported that Saudi strikes killed 11 people in Yemeni capital Sanaa on Saturday (October 24, 2026), shortly after the Saudi-led coalition fighting them said it had intercepted two missiles targeting Saudi cities.
The Houthis’ Al-Masirah reported a series of “Saudi enemy airstrikes” targeting Sanaa, including one on a house that killed at least three people and wounded several others.
A separate strike at a cement factory in the Sanaa governorate resulted in “a number of martyrs and wounded”, the broadcaster said.
The reports came after the Saudi coalition fighting in Yemen announced it had intercepted two missiles fired by the Houthis towards Taif and Yanbu, in the kingdom’s west.
Earlier, Riyadh’s civil defence agency broadcast warnings of “potential danger” for four western Saudi regions, including Taif and Yanbu as well as Mecca, home to Islam’s holiest city, and Jeddah.
Riyadh leads a military coalition that first intervened in the conflict, which has devastated Yemen and created one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, in 2015.
The war had been dormant since a ceasefire in 2022, but erupted again in July as the wider war in West Asia roiled the region.
