Yemen Conflict Intensifies as Houthis Attack Saudi Arabia
The conflict in Yemen intensified in September 2026, as the Yemeni government suffered a painful defeat at the hands of Iran-backed Houthi forces, who took control of the port city of Al-Mokha and the Bab el-Mandeb Island, a vital waterway linking the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean. In response, the government dispatched additional troops to the coast amid escalating fighting, with more than 80,000 people displaced since the beginning of the month due to ongoing clashes. The southern regions of Saudi Arabia, such as Abha and Khamis Mushait, also experienced repeated attacks by the Houthis using drones and mortar shells, leading to heightened tensions and warnings to residents about potential strikes, with the threat to the region increasing significantly.
