Houthi Missile Attack Kills Dozens at Yemen Military Camp Amid Renewed Fighting
Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a missile attack on the al-Alam military camp in Yemen's southern Shabwa province on October 19, 2026, killing between 20 and 53 government-aligned fighters and injuring dozens more. The camp, used for training security and police forces, is strategically located near key supply routes and the Bab al-Mandab Strait. The attack follows the collapse of a 2022 ceasefire and has raised concerns of a wider Houthi offensive amid ongoing clashes with Saudi-backed government forces.
