Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi movement killed 73 people, mostly security recruits, in a missile strike on a government training camp in Shabwa province on October 19, the deadliest attack since fighting resumed, with 14 people still missing. The Houthis also killed two teenage girls in a separate strike on the besieged city of Taiz, where the UN demanded immediate humanitarian access after Houthi fighters encircled the city, blocking the road to Aden; Saudi strikes on boats off Taiz's coast killed eight fishermen, which Yemen's health ministry condemned as a violation of international humanitarian law. Saudi forces said they intercepted a ballistic missile fired at Riyadh and destroyed the launcher used in the attack, as blasts shook the capital. Analysts said the intensifying Houthi campaign, including airport closures and strikes on the capital, has thrown Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 economic plans into disarray, while Egypt and the UAE have pledged support for Riyadh despite differing interests that complicate coordination against the Houthis.
