Houthi Missile Strike Kills Dozens at Yemen Military Training Camp Amid Renewed Fighting
Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched three ballistic missiles on October 19, 2026, targeting the al-Alam military training camp in Yemen's southern Shabwa province. The attack killed between 20 and 60 soldiers, mostly new recruits, and wounded over 200 others. The camp, used by government forces loyal to Yemen's internationally recognized government, was struck amid renewed fighting following the collapse of a 2022 ceasefire. The Houthis and Saudi-backed government forces have intensified clashes near strategic areas including the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, with both sides exchanging attacks.
