Story summary

As of October 20, 2026, 58 people were killed and more than 200 injured in a Houthi attack on a government security forces training camp in Yemen’s Shabwa province. According to Governor Awad al-Wazir, the Houthis launched three ballistic missiles during a training exercise at the al-Alam camp, which primarily consisted of new recruits. Videos from the scene verified by Reuters showed casualties scattered across the ground.

The attack occurred amid an escalation of hostilities between the Iran-backed Houthi rebels and Yemen’s internationally recognized government, supported by a Saudi-led coalition. Since September, both sides have been exchanging attacks as the Houthis advanced towards territory near the strategically important Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a crucial shipping chokepoint at the Red Sea mouth.

This incident marks one of the deadliest strikes since July 2026 when airstrikes on Sanaa International Airport shattered a previously established ceasefire.
