30 People Killed in Yemen in Missile Attack

HeadlineNov 09, 2026

In Yemen, at least 30 people were killed and more than three dozen injured on Friday as a missile slammed into a market in the southwestern province of Taiz. Women and children are among the dead. Yemen’s Saudi-backed government blamed the attack on fighters with Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis, while a Houthi-linked television channel reported the attack was carried out by Saudi warplanes. This follows the deadliest month of attacks on Yemen since 2017. According to the Yemen Data Project, Saudi-led attacks killed 426 civilians in October — almost a quarter of them children.

Meanwhile, a missile fired by Houthi fighters struck an administrative building run by the state oil giant Saudi Aramco in Riyadh on Sunday, shattering windows on several floors of one of the tallest buildings in the Saudi capital’s King Abdullah Financial District.
