Houthi rebels said on Tuesday (October 13, 2026) that multiple airstrikes had targeted areas under their control in Yemen.
The rebel-run al-Masirah satellite television said two airstrikes hit the Houthi-held Red Sea island of Kamaran, while a third hit Qanawis district, 55 km northwest of the port city of Hodeida.
The station also reported airstrikes in the province of Jawf, which borders Saudi Arabia.
Al-Masirah blamed Saudi Arabia for the strikes, but did not provide further details.
The rebels also said they shot down a Saudi drone over the Houthi stronghold province of Saada, in northern Yemen on the border with Saudi Arabia.
There was no immediate comment from Saudi Arabia.

The Houthis also said they fired a ballistic missile towards King Khalid International Airport, which has been hit by a string of deadly attacks in recent days.
