The Houthis are locked in a civil war with Yemen’s internationally recognised government, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and were ousted by the group from capital, Sanaa, in 2014.<\/p>\n
Saudi authorities said last week that 19 people had been killed in Houthi attacks on the kingdom’s airports. <\/p>\n
One missile strike on Riyadh’s international airport on 10 October killed 13 people and injured 308 others \u2013 the deadliest attack in Saudi Arabia in more than a decade.<\/p>\n
Houthis have been retaliating for strikes on territory that they control in western Yemen, including the capital Sanaa.<\/p>\n
More than 70 security personnel were killed earlier this week in a Houthi missile strike on a camp in Yemen’s central province of Shabwa.<\/p>\n
A spokesman for the Saudi-backed Yemeni armed forces said the Iran-backed group launched three ballistic missiles at al-Alam camp near Ataq city.<\/p>\n
The Houthis’ military spokesman said they had targeted “Saudi enemy concentrations”.<\/p>\n
According to the Houthi-run health ministry in north-western Yemen, Saudi air and artillery strikes have killed at least 141 people and injured 395 since 3 September.<\/p>\n
The government’s health ministry, meanwhile, said last week that at least 1,282 people had been killed in the conflict across Yemen since 6 August.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
