Houthi forces based in Yemen have struck the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with ballistic missiles.
The attack was reported this morning, October 8, 2026, and images and video were released showing smoke coming from the scene.

Destroyed in the attack was an Airbus A320-200 narrow-body airliner owned by state-owned Saudi Arabian Airlines. The plane was parked in a terminal at the time of the strike but no passengers were on board.

GCR has analyzed video and images of the strike and determined that the plane was sitting at one if the gates at Terminal 5 at the time of the strike. (Image with post) This terminal is newer than the others and used for the domestic Saudi flights. The roof and shape of the building were key to the identification as the building is flat faced with the other 4 terminals all follow the same style with a portion of the terminal gates protruding out. The roof pattern was also noted in as the overhang is specificity different from the thermals 1-4.
The site GCR believes the plane was sitting when it was hit. It’s unclear from the footage exactly where however this terminal has enough individual characteristics that distinguish it from the other four terminals that we are confident in this general location. The shape of the building and roof matches images and videos available of the scene. Terminals 1-4 going right to left. Here the gates in the terminal partridge from the terminal in a way which doesn’t match the image, leaving only Terminal 5 as the possible location.
Airlines Lufthansa and Air India announced through company spokesperson’s statements to media that they have cancelled flights into Riyadh for the next several days. A Lufthansa spokesman cited “current developments in the Middle East” to Reuters as the reason for the suspension. Others have followed since.
Saudi Arabia said that during the attack, additional missiles were intercepted by air defense; however, debris from the falling munitions landed on a school and medical center.
Saudi aviation authorities on Wednesday said that three people had been killed and a more than 30 injured in strikes Riyadh airport and Abha airport in the southwest earlier this week. This is the third day in a row the airport in Riyadh has been targeted.
The Houthis have claimed they are targeting Saudi Arabia due to the kingdom’s support for Yemeni government forces currently fighting against the Houthis. Saudi Arabia is backing the government forces currently fighting an offensive and attempting to retake some of the territory lost in a recent Houthi blitz down the Red Sea coast. That offensive put the Houthis in a strategic position if they wanted to project power into the Red Sea and the Bab Al-Mandab strait.
The conflict between the Houthis and the Yemeni government forces plus Saudi Arabia is an extension of the U.S./Iran war with the Houthis being a major proxy of Iran, receiving material support and training.

The security situation in Yemen has been violently changed in the past week as Houthi forces in Yemen made a coordinated push down the western coast. A fighting force made up of Yemeni government soldiers and National Resistance Forces (Tareq Saleh) withdrew from the city of Mocha rather than attempt to hold it. That port city is now under solid Houthi control. Government sources further reported that the Houthis had pushed towards the Hanish islands, attacking with rockets and boat-borne landings. Government forces chose to fall back to Dhubab, the last significant town facing Perim Island and the Bab el-Mandeb. More on Dhubab later.

Several reports from Reuters and Al Jazera mention Yemeni government taking heavy losses at Hays, al-Wazi‘iyah, and the Khalid ibn al-Walid base, all along the costal plains in the days leading up to and the day of the loss of Mocha. The bottom line is that the Yemeni government lost the whole of their government-held Red Sea coastal belt in Taiz governorate and, according to its own officials, the main offshore positions that matter for the strait.
Moving on the Sept 11. the strategic situation in Yemen gets even worse. Two Yemeni government officials told Reuters that the town of Dhubab had been lost. The Houthis had already taken Perim, the island just across the strait from Dhubab when the forces had withdrawn from there as well. Perim Island is strategically important as it sits directly in the middle of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, where it divides the waterway into two channels. This gives them direct line of sight on incoming and outgoing shipping in one of one of the most strategic choke points in the world. So far, the Houthis are saying that shipping will not be impacted besides Saudi Arabia’s shipping. While they have said this before, notably with the U.S. and Israel during their support for Palestinian Hamas during the fighting in Gaza.
It’s fairly common knowledge that the Houthis are backed by Iran indirectly, Tehran offers them weapons and supplies as well as training. This has been expanded as Reuters said that their source’s claimed two Iranian sources told Reuters that Tehran instructed the Houthis in the last week to escalate attacks on Saudi Arabia and promised additional funding, weapons and senior officers.
With Iran and the U.S. currently locked over the Strait of Hormuz the Red Sea has turned into an important route for middle eastern oil production as most countries with the capability to do so have been pumping their oil across the country to the West and then loading there.
Saudi Arabia took a hit as it was forced to temporarily close their East-West oil pipeline, a 1,200km (746-mile) conduit stretching across the Arabian Peninsula. The pipeline was reported on Sept. 11 as being attacked by projectiles and drones launched from Iraq. Iraq has a large number of Iranian backed groups which are linked to the attacks.

Aramco’s Abha bulk plant also received damage according to satellites image analysis. This damage was first seen on imagery from Sept 8.
Sentinal-2 imagery shows the aftermath of some sort of an attack on the Saudi Abha bulk plant.
In the days since the attack, multiple pumping stations on the Saudi “East-West” pipeline have been confirmed to have been attacked. This video includes the images from above as well as additional images of other locations.
Video from SOAR showing the Saudi pumping stations that have been targeted in the days since the Houthis campaign’s begun.
Reports from sources who spoke to CNN of Yemeni forces that were stationed in some of these towns as being partially made up of “ghost soldiers”, or only existing on paper to collect a salary make the Yemeni withdrawal and losses make more sense.After the government forces pulled out of their positions, Houthi soldiers were shown loading up Saudi/U.S. vehicles that were left behind.
Video reportedly shows the equipment captured by the Houthis.
The Houthis (Ansar Allah) have four primary goals in this conflict according to the Institute for the Study of War — ending Saudi military operations in Yemen, lifting the Saudi blockade of Houthi-controlled Yemeni ports and airports, coercing Saudi Arabia to pay Houthi civil servant salaries, and coercing Saudi Arabia to pay reparations to Yemeni civilians.
During the attack on Mocha, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly called President Trump twice on September 10 (as Mocha was falling) and urged American strikes against the advancing Houthis. Trump declined, with Us officials framing the reasoning that the U.S. president didn’t want to open up another major combat theater while U.S. forces are focused on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
For now, U.S. involvement in Yemen is limited to around 100 personal sent to act as advisors to Saudi Arabia who the U.S. hopes can manage the situation in this front.
Saudi Arabia carried out reportedly anywhere from several dozen to over a hundred bombing attacks on the advancing Houthi forces during their march to Mocha and Dhubab. These attacks did little to stop or slow Houthi advances. Yemeni forces report a lack of airstrikes during critical hours of fighting in Mocha.
Saudi Arabia has changed their Yemen strategy since around 2015 choosing to focus more on containment and diplomacy and limited pressure on the ground. However that was mostly as a way to avoid a full escalation in which Houthi forces targeted Saudi energy infrastructure which is now happening anyway. Saudi Arabia, like the U.S. is also facing a shortage of air defense missile interceptors which has led to key energy installations being targeted by Iranian backed elements, including the Houthis.
For now as an overall update, the Houthis are currently consolidating their control over their newly taken territories. They are digging in around the Bab-el Mandeb region in an effort to hold that area because of the large strategic advantage they hold with it . They are also moving in logistics and administration personnel to further help control the newly taken regions. The Houthis in 2014 received a lot of support from Hezbollah in Lebanon, another group with a strong focus on acting as a state institution and actually bringing benefits to the populations of regions they patrol.
This article was written primarily on and around the 11th and 12th but I took a little break and was going to just scrap this article but figured it had a lot of good info and is still relevant to everything that happened. I’ve updated some things to reflect on new information.
September 1, 2026, Jordanian air defenses engaged 13 Iranian ballistic missiles that entered the country’s airspace and destroyed 10 of them. The Jordan Armed Forces said the remaining three landed in remote, unpopulated areas. Jordan reported no injuries, no deaths, and no significant damage to property.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said the barrage was aimed at Camp Titin, a small U.S. Marine training camp south of Aqaba used to train Jordanian forces along the Gulf of Aqaba. Iranian state media claimed the strike destroyed military buildings and helicopters and killed a large number of U.S. personnel. Those claims have not been independently verified. Two U.S. officials told Reuters there were no reported U.S. casualties at facilities in Jordan based on initial information.
Video shows the Iranian ballistic missile impacting near the city of Aqaba.
This was the second Iranian attack into Jordan in roughly 48 hours. Overnight August 30–31, Iran launched missiles and drones at U.S.-linked sites in the kingdom, including the Muwaffaq Salti / Azraq area, after a U.S. strike on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. The two exchanges are the first major kinetic back-and-forth since the June U.S.–Iran Memorandum of Understanding expired in August.
The latest Iranian fire came after a wave of U.S. strikes on September 1. Iranian media and local reports said explosions were heard in Chabahar, Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island, Konarak, Jask, Sirik, and Minab. CENTCOM did not name those cities. It said U.S. forces struck IRGC air-defense sites, radar systems, maritime assets and facilities, mine-laying capabilities, and communications sites, following attempted IRGC attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and on American service members.
Video reported to show the U.S. bombardment of Sirik.
Iranian officials say one of those strikes hit a home during a wedding ceremony in Kuhestak, in Sirik County, killing four people, including a child, and wounding 67 others. Reported figures have varied. The United States says it does not target civilians.
Video taken from Sirik and obtained by GCR confirms that a U.S. strike hit the area. It does not confirm what was hit. Precision geolocation is difficult with the footage currently available. A second video shows the building Iranian media identified as the wedding site. The clip shows a damaged structure. It does not, on its own, prove a wedding was underway.
Video captured in the aftermath of the incident shows a residential style building on fire. Image from the Iranian Red Crescent Society, showing the house which was the site of a bombing in Sirik. This was the site of the alleged wedding celebration.
“Unfortunately, this is a residential building. And unfortunately, this happened during my daughter’s wedding ceremony,” Ali Mallahi, father of the bride and owner of the building, said in a video broadcast by Iranian state media.
Looking at maps of the area, the U.S. targeted a telecommunications tower in the vicinity of the house, which was struck.
Kuhestak telecommunications tower in SirikThis Google Earth Image shows how close the house and Telecom tower are to each other.
It appears just from looking at the map, the images, and the video from the scene that if the strike on the house wasn’t intentional, it was possibly hit in a U.S. strike that missed its original target, which is only 143 meters away from the house where the wedding celebration was said to be taking place. A tragedy, but one that happens in war often enough. The U.S. faced a similar situation during the raid on Venezuela when one of its upgraded AGM-88 HARM missiles missed its target and hit an apartment.
President Donald Trump said the U.S. operation was a response to Iranian forces attempting to lay more mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Sirik was one of multiple reported aimpoints in that wave, not a standalone strike.
In the hours after the U.S. attacks, IRGC missile forces appear to have targeted Camp Titin in Jordan. Iranian state media presented the camp as a successful hit. Footage obtained by GCR of one incoming missile does not show an intercept and appears to show the weapon striking the side of a mountain rather than a developed part of the camp. That can mean several things: the missile was already going to miss anything that mattered, the air-defense battery chose not to spend an interceptor on it, or the system was occupied with other tracks. Jordan has absorbed a large volume of Iranian fire since the start of hostilities. The more likely reading of this particular clip is that the missile was heading into the high ground around Aqaba and was not assessed as enough of a threat to engage. That is what the video appears to show. It does not prove a successful strike on the camp, and it does not prove Jordanian or U.S. air defenses were out of ammunition.
Today’s exchange is a return to open kinetic strikes. That is a sharp contrast with late August, when U.S. officials leaned hard on economic pressure — including the “Economic Outcast” / “economic D-Day” track and talked as if large new bombing campaigns were no longer the main tool. Limited strikes and intercepts are not the same thing as a full restart of the February war. They are also not the pause Washington had been describing.
Military actions are often used in conjunction with economic pressure to reach a goal. In most cases, military action, nor economic action alone, is enough. Using them together adds extra pressure. It also appears that the military strikes are supporting the economic strikes by targeting radars, air defense, and missile sites near the coast that Iran has tried to use to maintain control over the strait.
CENTCOM said after the strikes:
“U.S. forces struck Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets including air defense sites, radar systems, maritime assets and facilities, mine laying capabilities, and communications sites.
The strikes follow recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members.
More than 50,000 U.S. service members are currently operating across the Middle East and remain vigilant, lethal, and prepared to continue executing operations directed by the Commander in Chief.”
In the following days, Iran is claiming that the U.S. strike on the wedding is a war crime, a claim being repeated by many in Iran, including Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei. Iranian authorities say another 14 people were killed in separate attacks that took place at the same time.

Author note.
I know this strike was several days before I posted about it. In some cases, I’m not able to verify the footage I’m sent or that I find, and it takes me a while to go through my steps to verify that footage is what it is claiming to be. While GCR does often cover breaking news, its mission is more about analysis and verification. Thank you always for all the support.
Please feel free to comment. I always want to do better. I’m not trained in any of this stuff. Writing, conflict reporting, and analysis is something I’ve taught myself how to do, and I know there are areas I can improve, so please, if you have a question, comment, or anything that can help me improve.

On July 25 2026, Yemeni Houthi forces claim to have carried out ballistic missile strikes on two Aramco oil facilities in Saudi Arabia.
Image reported to be of the Aramco oil refinery in Jazan.
In a statement released on IRGC connected media networks, Houthi spokesperson, Yahya Saree said the group fired ballistic missiles and drones at facilities belonging to the state oil company, Aramco, in the Red Sea towns of Yanbu and Jazan.
Videos released online show smoke rising from the Jazan oil refinery.

These attacks were claimed by the Saudi’s and their coalition of allies as a proportionate response for Saudi-led coalitions airstrikes on Houthi military positions in Hodeidah (Hodeida) and Kamaran Island. These strikes were carried out The Houthis on July, 23 2026 struck two Saudi oil tankers, the Encelia and Layla, operating in the Red Sea. The strike stemmed from a blockade of the Bab al-Mandab that the Houthis had annonced beforehand.
The Houthis in Yemen are strongly aligned with Iran who offer training, weapons and other aid. They have been uncharacteristically uninvolved with the ongoing war between the U.S. and Iran, usually opting to fight alongside or at least operate as a sort of distraction. During the Israeli war in Gaza, a war that involved Iran because Iran supported Palestinian Hamas. During this time the Houthis would launch missiles into Israel as well as launch missiles at any Israeli/US alligned ships sailing.
Update:
As of writing this the Houthis have carried out an attack on the Aramco Abqaiq oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia. The plant is the largest of its kind in the world and process between 5-7 percent of the world’s global oil supply. A large fire broke out after Houthis drones struck the facility.
NASA FIRMS shows a fire covering most of the plant. When looking at low-resolution satellite imagery from today we can see a large plume of smoke coming from a smokestack which doesn’t usually produce such a large plume. We can also see an area which appears to have been covered with firefighting foam. Another area nearby shows what appears to be ground scarring from a fire.

On Tuesday July 7 2026, the U.S. launched a wave of strikes on Iran in retaliation for recent strikes carried out in international shipping by Iran. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) put the following statement following the strikes.
Video from Bandar Abbas showed explosions as the U.S. Air Force and Navy carried out their strikes over 80 targets, including 60 IRGC speedboats in and near the Strait of Hormuz.
Video shows U.S.Strikes on Bandar Abbas.
The U.S. also targeted Iranian air defense systems, command and control networks, coastal radar sites, and anti-ship missile capabilities. This is the largest strike since the ceasefire was agreed upon in April.
Further explosions were reported in Sirik and as far as Kharg Island, Iran’s largest oil facility handling 90% of its oil export. The U.S. previously struck targets on the island in April; however, it stuck to just hitting military sites and infrastructure and leaving the oil export untouched.

Iranian response
Khatam al-Anbiya Central, Iran’s top joint military command, put out a statement saying that the U.S. had committed a “blatant act of aggression” by targeting parts of southern Iran. The statement said Iranian armed forces would deliver a “crushing response.” The command also said that it would accept no U.S. interference in the management of the Strait of Hormuz and that the only safe passage for commercial shipping and tankers was the route Iran has laid out.
In the hours after Bahrain was the first to report incoming Iranian drones and missiles, they announced their people should seek shelter and that their army was engaging hostile missiles. Kuwait also received incoming fire.
Just after midnight local time on the night going into June 1 2026, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) targeting the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, a key hub for U.S. and coalition forces. Kuwaiti air defenses intercepted the Fateh-110 missile, but falling debris caused minor injuries to five U.S. personnel and contractors.
According to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), American forces had conducted self-defense strikes over the weekend against Iranian military targets on Qeshm Island and near Goruk in southern Iran. The strikes hit Iranian air defense systems, a ground control station linked to drone operations, and facilities associated with one-way attack drones. CENTCOM stated the action was in response to Iran’s downing of a U.S. MQ-9 drone over the Persian Gulf and attempts to mine the Strait of Hormuz in recent days.
Iran has released footage of the interception of a U.S. MQ-1 drone it shot down yesterday.

Local residents in Sirik County, Hormozgan Province, reported hearing multiple explosions around 4:00 a.m. local time on Sunday, with additional blasts roughly 30 minutes later. Eyewitness accounts and online reports indicated that an IRGC Navy facility near the village of Goruk was struck, consistent with CENTCOM’s description of the targets. Iranian sources says they launched their missile at the airbase which this attack was launched from.
The exchange comes amid a fragile ceasefire in the ongoing 2026 Iran War. While official negotiations between the U.S. and Iran continue, progress has stalled. Iranian officials have conditioned further talks on an end to Israel’s military operations in Lebanon. Both sides have accused each other of violating the ceasefire in recent weeks through limited but recurring strikes. U.S. president Donald Trump has said on social media that he believes that Tehran wants to reach a deal however iranian officials have expressed some concern and frustration over the “constantly changing” U.S. negotiating stance.
للتنبيه العاجل: وقف إطلاق النار بين إيران والولايات المتحدة يُعدّ، من دون أي لبس، وقفاً شاملاً لإطلاق النار في جميع الجبهات، بما في ذلك لبنان. وإن انتهاك هذا الوقف في أي من الجبهات يُعد انتهاكاً له في جميع الجبهات. وتتحمل الولايات المتحدة وإسرائيل مسؤولية تبعات أي انتهاك للهدنة. https://t.co/ib3qupctnk
This war, which was started by the U.S. officially on February 28 has killed thousands of people, mainly in Iran and Lebanon. It has also caused economic hardship around the globe by pushing up energy prices since Iran effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global supply route for oil and liquefied natural gas. While a number of vessels have been escorted through the strait in the last week, it will take several months before prices start trending back down.
The U.S. points for the negotiations have been publicly released and widely reported. They include Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz, free of tolls, and restoring international commercial shipping. While there has been progress made here, Iran has continued to demand a right to manage the strait (jointly with Oman). The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), has rules about waterways like this remaining international seaways open to global trade. The other large point for the US in the negotiations is the Iranian stockpile of enriched Uranium. In October 2025 Iran officially ended the 2015 JCPOA and declared there was no more restrictions on its nuclear program. Iran claims it has a right to enrich uranium (Current estimates have their stocks of uranium enriched to a near weapons grade 60%) for commercial/use however nuclear experts argue it would take little effort to convert the material for use in nuclear weapons. Iran already poses many long range missiles that could be changed into nuclear missiles if they went that route.

Wednesday, May 27, 2026, U.S. forces launched a fresh wave of strikes on Iranian targets, primarily in southern Iran. The strikes came after U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that Iran had launched a ballistic missile toward a U.S. base in Kuwait. The missile was reported as being intercepted by Kuwait forces. Hours earlier, Iran had launched a wave of four one-way attack drones, which were shot down by U.S. forces.
This exchange continues a pattern of back-and-forth attacks in the past week – from both sides – that has put the fragile April ceasefire to the test as negotiations are currently ongoing. A further 60 day ceasefire is awaiting a signature from U.S. President Donald Trump today.
Timeline of strikes
Here’s a timeline of events over the past week to provide clearer context:
May 25, 2026
Iran attempted to deploy naval mines near the Strait of Hormuz, posing risks to U.S. forces and shipping. U.S. forces responded by sinking IRGC vessels involved in the mine-laying efforts. Iran then fired surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) at U.S. aircraft. These actions set the stage for the clashes that followed.
[Video Placeholder: Claimed intercepted missile tracking an F-35 or related footage]
May 26, 2026 (Monday)
U.S. CENTCOM carried out “self-defense” strikes in southern Iran, primarily in the Bandar Abbas area. The targets included Iranian missile launch sites and boats allegedly attempting to emplace naval mines in or near the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. described the operation as necessary to protect troops and maritime traffic during the ongoing ceasefire. Some Iranian personnel were reported killed. Iranian officials viewed the strikes as a violation of the ceasefire.
May 27, 2026 (Tuesday)
U.S. forces shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were threatening the Strait of Hormuz area. They also struck an Iranian ground control station near Bandar Abbas International Airport to prevent a fifth drone launch.
May 28, 2026 (Wednesday/Thursday, ongoing)
The U.S. carried out additional defensive strikes near Bandar Abbas, targeting a military/ground control site linked to drone threats. U.S. forces intercepted Iranian drones. CENTCOM emphasized restraint while defending U.S. forces and interests.
Video reportedly shows the U.S. attack on Bandar Abbas. A cruise missile can be seen flying through the sky before it strikes a target out of view of the camera.
In response, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched a retaliatory ballistic missile (and reportedly a drone) attack toward a U.S. air base. The IRGC claimed it targeted the base responsible for the strikes near Bandar Abbas, which has been widely linked to facilities in Kuwait. Kuwait activated its air defenses and intercepted the incoming missile(s) and drones. No major casualties were reported. The IRGC called the strike a “serious warning” and threatened more decisive action if U.S. aggression continues.
🇮🇷 #Iran – 🇺🇸 #US: The IRGC has released a statement claiming responsibility for a missile strike against what it described as a “US military airbase” in Kuwait, allegedly in response to new American "defensive" strikes on an Iranian military site.
CENTCOM labeled Iran’s attack an “egregious ceasefire violation.” Iran also reported incidents involving warning shots at ships in the Hormuz area.
Iranian sources dispute the U.S. claim of conducting purely self-defense strikes, arguing that Iran was only responding to aggressive U.S. actions.
The White House and Tehran are currently working on a 60-day extension of the ceasefire to allow more time for negotiations.

Video released from the IRGC shows the shoot down of a US AGM-158B JASSM-ER stealth cruise missile. The video is the view from a thermal detection systems, which is built around passive Infrared signals which can detect stealth aircraft because of the heat they emit. Earlier in the war a U.S. F-35 was struck because it was detected and tracked with this technology.
