Fighting Intensifies Between Houthis and Saudi-Backed Government Forces in Yemen

HeadlineOct 02, 2026

The Saudi-led military alliance fighting Houthi militias in Yemen said Thursday it had intercepted ⁠four drones ⁠launched over southern Saudi Arabia. The alliance accused the Houthis of targeting an electric power station in the holy city of Medina, a charge the Houthis denied. Meanwhile, there were reports of loud explosions in the Houthi-controlled city of Sana’a overnight as Yemeni government forces carried out airstrikes. The International Organization for Migration warns more than 145,000 people have been displaced in Yemen since the conflict escalated in June.
