Houthis say death toll from Saudi attack has risen to 44




Monday, November 9, 2026 - The death toll from recent Saudi airstrikes in Yemen’s Sanaa province has risen to 44, according to statements broadcast by the Houthi movement's Almasirah TV on Monday.

The strikes, which targeted the Alshariyah area in the Bani Hushaysh district east of Sanaa, left a total of 84 casualties, including 44 dead and 40 wounded. Local health authorities reported that 21 children and 10 women were among those killed, while rescue teams continue to search through rubble for missing individuals.

The escalation follows the collapse in July of a 2022 truce that had previously quieted Yemen’s protracted conflict, reigniting hostilities between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed government. In retaliation, the Houthis have launched strikes targeting Saudi infrastructure, including a reported attack over the weekend on the financial district of Riyadh that caused visible damage near an Aramco facility.

United Nations estimates indicate that more than 1,600 people have been killed and over 300,000 displaced since active combat resumed in the country.
