Saudi-led coalition intercepts Houthi missiles and drones, as Yemeni forces announce strikes on Houthi targets.

The Saudi-led coalition announced on Thursday evening, October 1, that it intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles and four drones launched by Yemen's Houthi militia over the southern Saudi cities of Khamis Mushait and Jazan. Separately, the Yemeni army reported conducting strikes on 'high-value targets' belonging to the Houthis in Sanaa, Saada, and Taiz provinces, amid an escalation in fighting. The coalition also accused the Houthis of a drone attack on a power distribution station in Medina on September 29, which the Houthis denied.
