Aden missile claim
Yemeni Armed Forces announced a ballistic missile strike targeting the operations room of a Saudi commandship in Aden’s Al-Buraiqah. Al-Manar TV Lebanon said the Yemeni Armed Forces announcement came about an hour before its live updates, and the report framed the strike as part of a broader set of Yemen-related urgent developments. Yemeni security sources told AFP that two missiles targeted a camp of the Saudi-led coalition in Aden’s west on Wednesday, and that a third projectile, identified as a drone, targeted another camp in the city’s centre and was intercepted.
The Saudi-led coalition said it had "intercepted and destroyed 3 cruise missiles launched by the Houthi terrorist militia toward the Riyadh area". Yemen has been reeling from war since 2014, when the Houthis seized Sanaa, with a Saudi-led coalition entering the conflict a year later in support of the government.
Lahj missile strikes
Brigadier General Yahya Saree announced via Telegram that Yemeni armed forces carried out six targeted operations against concentrations of Saudi-led enemy forces, overseen by Saudi officer Badr al-Harbi, at the Kharaz camp and other locations in Ras al-Ara and Kharaz in Lahj Governorate. General Saree said "Six ballistic missiles were used" and that they struck their targets directly, resulting in dozens of enemy personnel killed or wounded. The Houthi militia launched two ballistic missiles targeting Al-Mudharaba and Ras Al-Ara District in Lahj Governorate on Tuesday, with one missile landing near a police headquarters and the other striking the Khor Umairah area.
A local source told South24 Center that the missile near the Al-Mudharaba District police headquarters caused no casualties, and other local sources reported that the second missile also resulted in no casualties. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed responsibility for the attacks as part of four military operations, while the report said he provided no independently verifiable evidence to support the figures.
Civilian impact and aid
The Houthis said a Saudi strike on Saturday hit the village of al-Shariya, outside Sanaa, killing 44 people, including 21 children, and injuring 40 others.
Mourners prayed on Wednesday at Sanaa's Mosque of the People and chanted "Death to America! Death to Israel!" according to an AFP photographer present.
On November 1, a ballistic missile struck the Al-Suqya Health Center in Al-Mudharaba District, killing five people and injuring 15 others, according to an initial casualty toll announced by Yemen's Ministry of Public Health and Population.
