The post Military Situation In Yemen On October 22, 2026 (Map Update) appeared first on South Front.
Fighting intensified across Yemen over the past week, as the Houthis (Ansar Allah) escalated their missile and drone strikes on Saudi Arabia.
On October 16, two missiles hit Aden International Airport’s perimeter. The Houthis said they targeted a nearby military facility housing a Saudi-led coalition command center and weapons depot. No casualties were reported.
Two days later, October 18, the Houthis shot down a Saudi AH-6i light attack helicopter near Najran. Footage released by the group’s military media showed a missile striking the helicopter before it fell. The crash killed both crew members. The Houthis also downed a Turkish-made Karayel combat drone in Yemen.
On October 19, a ballistic missile hit the Al-Alam training camp in Shabwa province as recruits assembled. The strike killed 73 people and wounded more than 200. The dead were all new recruits. The Houthis claimed the attack. A missile strike also targeted Marib.
The next day, October 20, Houthi military media released footage of an operation on Jabal Han, a mountain overlooking Taiz’s western approaches, and said the group’s forces had stormed the summit and ridgeline, driving out Saudi-backed forces. Fighting also continued around Al-Dhabab, the Old Airport and Madarat, while clashes south of the city extended into Al-Misrakh and Sabr al-Madawim. The mountain overlooks the Al-Dhabab road, a key supply route into Taiz.
On October 21, the Houthis fired a ballistic missile at the Saudi-led coalition’s operations room at Badr Camp in Aden. An explosion was heard and smoke reported near the airport. Three drones also targeted Al-Rayyan Airport in Mukalla.
In addition, the group’s military media released footage from operations east of Raghwan in Marib showing wreckage of Turkish-made STM Kargu loitering munitions. The footage showed at least two of the systems. This was evidence of growing involvement by Ankara in the war.
The same day, Saudi authorities said debris from a drone intercepted over the Shaybah oilfield killed two foreign workers, one Filipino and one Nepali, and injured two others, a Pakistani and an Indian. A separate attack on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam killed two people and injured eight; the second death was announced the following day. The airport sustained material damage, prompting flight diversions.
All in all, the Houthis maintain the upper hand on the battlefield, in Taiz, near Bab al-Mandab and on other fronts. The group’s air defenses also remain a credible threat. Meanwhile, strikes on Saudi-backed forces and the kingdom itself are becoming more lethal. Despite all of these factors, Riyadh appears to be determined to go on with the war, with reports indicating it is close to securing more support not just from Turkey, but also from Egypt and Syria.

The post Houthi Strikes Kill Dozens In Yemen And Saudi Arabia appeared first on South Front.

Yemen’s Houthis (Ansar Allah) announced on October 22 that they had launched ballistic missiles and drones against four targets in Saudi Arabia, including the Defense Ministry headquarters in Riyadh, two international airports and a facility belonging to state oil company Saudi Aramco.
Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree, the group’s military spokesman, said in a statement that the operations were conducted over the previous 48 hours and scored direct hits on all four targets.
The targets were the Saudi Defense Ministry in Riyadh, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, an Aramco facility in the Red Sea port city of Yanbu and Abha International Airport in southwestern Saudi Arabia.
Saree said the attack on King Fahd International Airport disrupted air traffic, while the strike on the Aramco facility in Yanbu started a fire. He did not provide details about the weapons used against each target or the extent of the reported damage.
The statement came as Saudi Arabia reported deadly incidents involving intercepted drones and an attack on King Fahd International Airport that caused casualties and disrupted flights.
The Saudi Civil Aviation Authority said an attack on the Dammam airport late Wednesday killed one Saudi resident and injured eight people, damaging airport facilities and prompting flight diversions. Reuters later reported that two people, including an Indian national, had been killed and eight others injured.
In a separate incident, Saudi Arabia’s Energy Ministry said falling debris from a drone intercepted near Saudi Aramco’s Shaybah oil field killed two foreign residents and injured two others on October 21. The dead were Filipino and Nepali nationals, while the injured were Pakistani and Indian nationals.
The ministry said the interception sparked a fire in a contractor’s vehicle outside the facility’s perimeter but did not affect oil-field operations. Shaybah is in eastern Saudi Arabia and is separate from the Yanbu facility named in Saree’s statement.
Saudi military officials also reported several drone interceptions in recent days. The Saudi-led coalition said on October 21 that it had intercepted and destroyed four drones launched toward the kingdom. The next day, the coalition reported additional interceptions over Riyadh and Medina.
Separately, Reuters reported on October 22 that Saudi Aramco had instructed employees to evacuate its headquarters in Dhahran and work remotely as the fighting intensified. The reason for the order was unclear.
Saree accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out more than 2,900 airstrikes and missile attacks against civilian sites in Yemen over the previous 100 days, claiming that more than 562 people had been killed or wounded, most of them women and children. The figures were not independently verified.
He also warned Riyadh against carrying out threats to target Yemeni tribes, saying the consequences would be “catastrophic and unexpected.” He said the Houthis would resort to major options they had previously been reluctant to use if Saudi Arabia followed through on the threats.
“The Yemeni armed forces will continue their operations deep inside Saudi Arabia in defense of our country and our people,” Saree said, stressing that the operations would continue until the attacks on Yemen stopped and the blockade was lifted.
The Houthis escalated their strikes on Saudi Arabia in recent weeks as they maintained the upper hand on all fronts in Yemen, namely in Taiz and Bab al-Mandab in the southwest of the country. Meanwhile, the kingdom, despite all recent setbacks, appears to be determined to go on with its campaign against the group. In addition to its allies in the Mecca defense pact, Pakistan and Turkey, Riyadh is working on securing support from Egypt and Syria.

The post Houthis Claims Strikes on Saudi Defense Headquarters, Airports and Aramco (Videos) appeared first on South Front.
Os Houthis do Iêmen, alinhados ao Irã, afirmaram nesta quinta-feira (22) que lançaram ataques contra o Ministério da Defesa da Arábia Saudita em Riade, instalações da Saudi Aramco em Yanbu e o Aeroporto Internacional Rei Fahd em Dammam — local onde, segundo as autoridades sauditas, duas pessoas morreram.
“As Forças Armadas (Houthis) realizaram, com o apoio de Deus, quatro operações militares de grande relevância nas últimas 48 horas, utilizando diversos mísseis balísticos e drones. A primeira (operação) teve como alvo o edifício do Ministério da Defesa na capital do inimigo saudita, Riade, e atingiu o objetivo diretamente, graças a Deus”, disse o porta-voz militar Houthi, Yahya Saree.
O número de mortos em um ataque ao Aeroporto Internacional King Fahd, em Dammam, na noite de quarta-feira (21), subiu para dois, segundo a Autoridade de Aviação Civil da Arábia Saudita.
Entre as vítimas está um cidadão indiano. A embaixada da Índia em Riade informou, em comunicado, que foi notificada da morte pelas autoridades sauditas e que estava “apurando mais detalhes e entrando em contato com as famílias afetadas”.
Oito pessoas também ficaram feridas no ataque, segundo a autoridade de aviação. Os ferimentos variam de “leves a graves”.
O aeroporto, localizado no leste do país, também sofreu danos, cuja extensão ainda está sendo avaliada.
O ataque ocorreu após o Departamento de Estado dos Estados Unidos emitir um alerta de segurança na quarta-feira, recomendando que cidadãos americanos ficassem atentos a possíveis ataques contra aeroportos e a interrupções nas viagens pelo país.
Uma série de ataques fatais dos houthis nas últimas semanas teve como alvos o Aeroporto Internacional King Khalid, em Riade, instalações militares sauditas, infraestrutura petrolífera e o tráfego marítimo.
Charities say ‘tip of iceberg’ figures show government is not fulfilling pledge to halve violence against women and girls
Almost one in 10 adults in England and Wales have experienced domestic abuse in the last year, a survey from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) has found.
The Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW) found that 9.6% of people aged 16 and over had experienced domestic abuse in the last year – which equates to about 4.7 million people.

Aposta na crise habitacional para se manter no poder. Como tantas vezes acontece na história, esta crise ficou condensada num caso, o despejo de Maricarmen, de 87 anos, que morreu duas semanas depois, no hospital, sem chegar a voltar a casa. Tinha sido alcançado um acordo para regressar, pendente apenas da alta médica.
A crise habitacional é para a direita o que a imigração é para a esquerda, o calcanhar de Aquiles que, por razões identitárias e ideológicas específicas, nenhuma das duas consegue fundamentalmente resolver. Apesar de tudo, o desgaste de Sánchez e dos seus aliados é tal que dificilmente algo os poderá salvar, e o PP, aliado ao Vox, vai ficar com o poder. Mas até ao lavar dos cestos é vindima.
Importa, por isso, expor as linhas vermelhas que Santiago Abascal, o espúrio líder do Vox, impõe ao PP (o provável vencedor das eleições) para realizar a coligação que permitirá a sua chegada ao poder. São três: a desregulação da economia, a famosa remigração e a prioridade nacional. Vou dizer-lhes o que penso de cada uma.
A desregulação económica é uma bajulação ao poder económico. Hoje, como no passado, o que se pretende é aliciá-lo para depois o subordinar. Prometem-se cortes de impostos, privatizações e o fim de regulações para depois impor a sua lei. Assim faz Trump, com as tarifas, a golden share na US Steel, a participação no capital da Intel, a pressão sobre escritórios de advogados e universidades ou o uso das empresas de IA como instrumento para dominar e subordinar o resto do mundo.
A remigração é o termo que se apoderou do imaginário de muitos europeus nesta vaga de regeneração identitária, e cuja versão máxima inclui a expulsão de cidadãos de origem estrangeira para, por milagre, tudo resolver. Sobre a prioridade nacional, o que dizer? O nativismo é para a direita radical europeia o que o nacionalismo foi para o fascismo, a sublimação de todos os problemas com uma esmola que preenche a alma. Quem pertence a uma nação histórica e heroica é maior do que ele próprio. Mesmo pobre e em dificuldades, pode sentir-se superior. É a troca do humanismo universal pela pertença à nação. É o salário psicológico da “europitude”.
A crise material entrou na nova política europeia pela via da identidade. Em Espanha, ainda não será o Vox a ganhar, mas sim o PP de Feijóo, um partido da direita tradicional em desconstrução. Na Extremadura e em Aragão já assinou com o Vox a prioridade nacional, ainda que a tente disfarçar de “arraigo”. Em Portugal, segundo as sondagens, a direita radical já disputa o primeiro lugar com o PS. Estamos todos a observar Espanha, porque em breve também nós teremos de decidir. E se o Partido Socialista quer voltar a governar, terá de mudar muito, a começar pela forma como escolhe os seus candidatos à Assembleia da República. Primárias abertas, que entreguem aos eleitores a escolha e voltem a galvanizar quem há muito deixou de se sentir representado.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Bridget Griswold, the 25-year-old CEO of Lean In, who lives in San Francisco. It's been edited for length and clarity.
I fell in love with technology at Brown University, where I studied computer science and business. I worked with two female professors to build a robot. I interned at a semiconductor manufacturing company and also loved design and art.
Product management felt like a really wonderful combination of all those interests, and that was my role at Meta a year after graduating from college. My team and I redesigned the Instagram search grid, so now when you search for large Instagram accounts, you're routed to the search results page rather than directly to those accounts. I'm very proud of that.
While at Meta, an incredible female mentor connected me to Sheryl Sandberg. Meeting her felt so surreal and is what led me to start my role as CEO at Lean In in March. It feels like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do mission-driven work.

I was a swimmer as a kid, and as my swim coach used to say: "You get out of swimming what you put into it." I think that applies to many things in life: The more you put in, the more you get out.
Here's a day in my life.
The second I wake up, I pet my crying and whining cat. She's an angel but very needy.
I'm not a breakfast person, but I need coffee immediately. I have many cups of coffee throughout the day. One of the first things I do is make some at home.
The most productive two minutes of my day are when I brush my teeth. I clean and tidy my apartment at the same time.
I'm probably not super focused on brushing my teeth, which is maybe a problem, but I'm also making my bed, emptying the dishwasher, feeding my cat, or starting the coffee maker.
I always move really quickly; I don't like to sit still. Brushing my teeth and standing still would make me antsy, so I like to get something else done at the same time.
I moved from New York City to San Francisco in August.
In New York, I went to Solidcore classes before work every day. Working on the West Coast, the workday starts earlier than on the East Coast, so I'm still learning whether I like to work out in the morning or after work.
When I take the bus to the office three days a week, I often use that time to catch up on personal housekeeping tasks like scheduling appointments or texting back my friends who live on the East Coast.
A majority of my in-person time is spent in meetings. As CEO, I enjoy being involved in all aspects of the team.
I'll meet with our content and research team — we spend a lot of time digging into data, such as some really exciting new research on trad wives in the manosphere. I also often meet with our product and tech team, as well as many of our partners, to help grow our programs.
We have lunch in the office — my favorite is a salad-plus-smoothie combo — and it's a really wonderful time to connect with the team.
Gabriela Hasbun for BI
I also love connecting with our Lean In community. One thing we're focused on is closing early gender gaps in AI usage. Our flagship program, Circles, consists of groups of 8 to 12 women who meet regularly to support each other in their careers — we have over 170,000 members. It's a perfect forum to hold each other accountable for upskilling in AI.
Every week, I send AI tips to our network leaders. A recent one encouraged the use of AI notetakers, as women are more likely to take notes during meetings and miss out on participating.
Lean In is in over 180 countries, and it's really heartwarming to see that our commitment to our mission has a positive impact on women's careers. Getting to speak with them is really energizing and rewarding.
Another habit of mine I've been told is weird is how I prepare for big meetings.
If I have a presentation or interview coming up, I'll set up a Zoom and practice speaking to myself. Talking for a long time is sort of an unnatural act, and the first time you do it is probably not going to be your best.
Sometimes, I'll even go on a walk and wear headphones, pretending like I'm in a meeting or on a phone call, but I'm actually talking to myself and practicing.
Because of my background in computer science, I spend a lot of my time finding bugs or things I believe we should change on our platform. I'll code and fix those on my own. Thankfully, with AI, it's so much faster to code now than it was a few years ago.
Our team is busy, and my goal is to enable everyone to have as much impact and move as quickly as possible. If I can help unblock the tech team or resolve an issue rather than add it to their plate, I'm always more than happy to do so.
I continue to work until I go to bed pretty much every night.
It's nice to have that time at home, when I'm not running around between meetings, to focus, give feedback on documents the team has sent, write, respond to emails, and brainstorm my own ideas.
I take breaks to tidy up my apartment and make dinner. Living in New York got me out of the habit of cooking, so I'm taking the initiative to cook more meals, like rice bowls. I would say about half the time I order takeout, like pho, and the other half I cook, which is progress for me.
Gabriela Hasbun for BI
If my work doesn't require intense focus, I'll do it from the couch and put a happy TV show on, which right now is "Schitt's Creek." I think it's a nice balance between relaxation and getting things done.
I've been trying to make a habit of reading every night instead of going on my phone, which has been a really positive change. I like anything I read to be a distraction. I'm currently reading "Big Little Lies" and enjoying it.
It's nice to spend 30 minutes reading something like fantasy that's completely different from what I think about at work. That way, I'm not spinning on all the things I need to do or coming up with new ideas that can't get done in my sleep anyway.
My boyfriend works in Los Angeles and flies up to San Francisco every weekend. We've made a tradition of going to the Fort Mason Farmers Market on Sundays for fresh produce to cook an at-home meal that night.
I also enjoy seeing friends over the weekend. My preference is to go on a long walk or go to the beach. I also enjoy fitting in some work — emails, deep-focus work, or reading — throughout the weekend.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said Egypt’s military support for Saudi Arabia would be limited to defending the kingdom’s territory and borders and would not include an attack on Yemen, the presidency said on Wednesday, as the Iran-allied Houthis intensify attacks on the kingdom.
Sisi’s comments came as Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and intelligence chief Hassan Rashad met Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh, Saudi state news agency SPA said. Abdelatty delivered a written message from Sisi to King Salman, and the two sides discussed bilateral ties and regional developments, SPA said.
The letter concerned strengthening bilateral ties and affirmed Egypt’s full solidarity with and support for Saudi Arabia, Egypt’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
Any Egyptian military backing for Saudi Arabia could mark a significant escalation in the broader Middle East conflict, which has threatened global energy supplies and pushed oil prices higher since the US and Israel attacked Iran in February.
Egypt would also defend the territory of any other Arab country if asked, Sisi said, but its military effort would not extend beyond Egyptian territory or that of an Arab state whose security and stability Cairo was seeking to protect.
On Monday, Egypt’s parliament delayed until October 26 a vote on authorizing the armed forces to support Saudi Arabia if requested, lawmakers said.
Fighting between the Saudi-led coalition backing Yemen’s internationally recognised government and the Houthis, who control the capital Sanaa and much of the north, has escalated in recent weeks, opening another front in the US-Israeli war on Iran.
Egypt and Saudi Arabia are close strategic and economic partners. Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, including the United Arab Emirates, provided Egypt with billions of dollars in aid, central bank deposits and investments after the 2013 military overthrow of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi. Sisi became president a year later.
Egypt, a regional military power, previously joined the Saudi-led coalition that intervened in Yemen in 2015 in support of the government against the Houthis, though it played a limited combat role in the civil war.

Camino Alto de San Isidro es una calle peatonal de Carabanchel con alma de corrala. Por las tardes, los adultos se asoman a los balcones y se sientan en sillas plegables a ver pasar a los niños en edades de primaria volando a 25 kilómetros por hora en patinetes eléctricos. Otros pequeños juegan al fútbol cerca de una pared de ladrillo donde alguien pegó hace tiempo una foto de Jenni Hermoso, la estrella del fútbol femenino que dio aquí sus primeras patadas al balón. Los vecinos hablan de chismes y asuntos serios, entre otros un tema que les duele: el problema de los pisos vacíos, cerrados con puertas de acero. Todo el mundo los ha visto en esta colonia de 28 bloques, una de las principales reservas de vivienda pública de la región, donde no es raro que diez o doce personas compartan un mismo hogar. EL PAÍS ha recorrido los edificios uno a uno y ha contado 18 pisos cerrados.

The US state department has ordered some diplomats and the families of US government employees to leave Saudi Arabia as the gulf kingdom faces a barrage of near-daily attacks, with at least three people killed at an airport and oilfield.
Attacks on “civilian airports and other critical infrastructure” by the Iranian-supported Houthis in Yemen were highlighted as the reason for the drawdown. The state department spokesperson, Tommy Pigott, said: “The safety and security of department personnel and their families remain our highest priority.”
