The Saudi-led coalition said it carried out a wide-ranging operation in Yemen, according to The National’s live updates. The update, last revised on October 10, 2026, at 4:44 a.m., offered no further details.
Coalition Operation
The report called the action a “wide-ranging operation” and attributed the announcement to the Saudi-led coalition. It didn’t identify the locations targeted, specify the weapons used, or give a casualty figure. The available account also included no statement from the Houthis about the operation.
Airport Attack Reports
The live updates separately reported that the UAE strongly condemned a Houthi attack on Riyadh airport. The account gave no further details about the attack or the UAE’s condemnation.
A Riyadh-bound Qatar Airways flight returned to Doha after an attack on a Saudi airport, the update said. It didn’t specify whether this was the same attack on Riyadh airport, identify the flight, or report whether passengers or crew were injured.
The report links these developments in its live coverage but offers no additional information about their timing or circumstances. It doesn’t say how the coalition operation related to the airport attack, or whether the operation targeted the Houthis. The source describes the Houthis as Iran-backed in the topic title; the update’s text refers to them as Houthis.
The available account establishes three reported developments. The Saudi-led coalition announced a wide-ranging operation in Yemen. The UAE condemned a Houthi attack on Riyadh airport, and a Qatar Airways flight bound for Riyadh returned to Doha after an attack on a Saudi airport. It supplies no further operational detail, casualty figures, or official statements beyond those reports.
