WSJ: On October 19, a ballistic missile attack by the Houthi group on a Saudi-controlled training base in Yemen's Shabwa province killed at least 75 people and injured more than 200 others, including Saudi soldiers. Saudi and Yemeni officials, who were briefed on the attack, reported that it was the single most significant attack carried out by the Houthi group during the ongoing conflict. Three missiles hit the al-Alam camp within minutes, just as Saudi officers were about to begin training new local forces. Eyewitnesses reported that four battalions were gathered when the first missile hit, and that a subsequent missile hit the recruits as they fled the initial blast. UAVs were seen flying over the base several days before the attack. Relatives of the victims and injured accused the local Yemeni commander of ignoring these warnings. Officials stated that the camp has no air defense or early warning systems, and that the authorities in Shabwa are now urging Riyadh to quickly provide them with these systems.
