The reported strikes are part of a broader military escalation involving Yemen’s Houthis, Saudi Arabia, Iran and the United States. The coalition said attacks between October 7 and 11 killed 17 people and injured 333, while additional incidents reportedly targeted Aden and Saudi territory. Separate reporting said Washington has prepared potential strike plans against Iranian energy and nuclear sites, and that a tanker caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz, underscoring the risk that the conflict could widen and disrupt global oil markets. The available coverage includes claims from involved parties that may require independent verification.
