Summary

On October 19, 2026, Houthi ballistic missiles struck the Al-Alam military camp, also known as the Martyr Ahmed al-Sulaimani Training Centre, in Yemen's Shabwa Governorate. The attack left the facility out of service, resulting in 73 killed and 200 injured. Video verified by Reuters showed bodies and injured men scattered across the ground of the camp. While the Houthis claimed the camp was run by Saudi forces, the Yemeni government stated it was their own. Aidarus Al-Zubaidi of the Southern Transitional Council denounced the strike as a brutal offense, while the event has prompted calls for improved air defense systems to protect government forces.
