A devastating Houthi attack involving three ballistic missiles struck a military camp in Yemen's oil-rich Shabwa province on Monday (October 19, 2026), killing more than 30 people and wounding at least 70 others, according to military sources.
The strikes targeted the al-Alam camp—specifically hitting a training center for security and police forces aligned with Yemen's internationally recognized government—amid a surge in renewed fighting following the collapse of a 2022 truce.
Yemeni armed forces spokesperson Majed al-Nuzaili confirmed the strike on X. Government military sources expressed grave concern that the attack could prelude a broader ground offensive, noting that the Houthis had also cut off a key road linking government-held Shabwa with Houthi-controlled Al-Bayda province.
