On Oct. 6 the Yemen Houthi rebels said they repelled multiple Saudi-backed government attempts to advance toward the strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait. The group said clashes near positions close to the strait forced government forces to withdraw. The Houthis said they fired 10 ballistic missiles at government troop concentrations and reinforcements, causing dozens of government casualties and destroying multiple military vehicles. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea said separately they also repelled government attacks on Houthi positions in Taiz province. The statement said Saudi forces carried out 66 strikes over the past 24 hours across western and northern provinces using warplanes, armed reconnaissance drones and surface-to-surface missiles, causing civilian casualties including women and children; no casualty figures were provided.
