The Saudi-Yemeni Military Coalition announced on Monday, November 9, 2026, that its forces successfully targeted and destroyed a Houthi ballistic missile manufacturing plant alongside two related technical facilities in Yemen.
According to an official statement issued on X (formerly Twitter) by Coalition Spokesman Major General Turki Al-Malki, precision airstrikes dismantled three strategic facilities belonging to the Iran-backed Houthi militia:
- Missile Assembly Plant: Responsible for manufacturing and assembling ballistic missile parts.
- Chemical Propellant Plant: Dedicated to producing solid fuel propellant mixtures for long-range missiles.

Maj. Gen. Al-Malki emphasized that the operations were launched in direct response to repeated Houthi attacks targeting civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, pledging that coalition forces will continue degrading the militia's ballistic missile architecture.
Following the destruction of the facilities, Houthi rebels launched a retaliatory counter-strike at dawn on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. The attack included an explosive drone targeting Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, two ballistic missiles directed at the capital city of Riyadh, and one ballistic missile aimed at the kingdom's southern region. However, Saudi air defense forces successfully intercepted and destroyed all incoming drones and missiles before they could hit their targets.
