The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said early on Tuesday that its forces destroyed a depot housing 20 ballistic missiles at a mountainous site in northwestern Saada province, along with a ballistic missile launch site in the capital, Sanaa.
Coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki announced the strikes in remarks carried by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
On Monday, the coalition said it carried out a military operation against Houthi targets in Yemen’s western Hodeidah province on the Red Sea coast.
Al-Maliki said the operation destroyed weapons depots, storage sites for explosive-laden boats and naval mines.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) has said its forces redirected a commercial vessel in the Middle East on Monday, marking the 130th ship intercepted during the ongoing US naval blockade against Iran.
Since the operation resumed on July 14, US forces have redirected 130 commercial vessels and disabled three ships that refused to comply, CENTCOM said in a statement.
The command also said that American forces have destroyed 13 commercial vessels over the past 12 weeks.
According to CENTCOM, the vessels were either violating the blockade or were connected to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ multibillion-dollar shadow network.
Yemen's Houthis launched ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones targeting Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport, an Aramco oil refinery in Rabigh, and southern military bases.
Military spokesman Yahya Saree claimed the strikes disrupted air traffic and sparked a refinery fire, warning airlines against using Saudi airspace.
The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said that its forces carried out a military operation against Houthis in Yemen's Red Sea province of Hudaida.
Weapons depots, storage facilities for explosive-laden boats, and naval mines were destroyed during the operation, coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki said on X.
The coalition also "thwarted a plot for imminent attacks targeting waterways in the southern Red Sea," he added.
US President Donald Trump has confirmed that a threat led the US to pull its bombers from a British air base, suggesting a possible link to Iran.
"Yeah, I think we can say that. I mean, they didn't fly out by accident," Trump told reporters at the White House when asked whether a specific threat led to the withdrawal of the bombers from the UK.
"There were some threats, and rather than tempting the enemy, we'll capture the enemy and beat the enemy," he said. "But why should we leave them there? So we moved them around a little bit, not very far."
Trump said moving the aircraft "costs very little money."
"We had a threat, and if we're going to be threatened, we'll just move them, and that sort of alleviates that," he said, adding: "We actually know the people that made the threat."
One Palestinian was killed and nine others, including a mother and her two children, were injured in fresh Israeli attacks across Gaza amid continued violations of a ceasefire in effect since last October, medical sources said.
The sources said a Palestinian man was killed and four people, including a mother and her two children, were injured in an Israeli strike in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
A Palestinian woman was also shot in the head when Israeli naval forces opened fire toward the coast of the Al-Sudaniya area in northwestern Gaza, according to the sources.
A 6-year-old child was also shot in the chest by Israeli forces while in the Al-Atatra area in northwestern Gaza.
The sources said two other Palestinians were wounded in an Israeli drone strike targeting pedestrians north of the Hamad area northwest of Khan Younis.
A Palestinian woman was injured by gunfire from an Israeli drone in the Al-Shamaa area of the Al-Zeitoun neighborhood east of Gaza City, the sources said.
Israeli forces killed one Palestinian and injured two others in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian authorities said, while the military said troops fired at a car that had hit an army vehicle.
The military said a "vehicle carrying three suspects... accelerated toward an IDF vehicle and hit it" in the area of Bani Naim, north of the city of Hebron.
In a statement, it said no injuries were reported among Israeli forces and that soldiers "responded by firing toward the vehicle, and hits were identified."
The Palestinian General Authority for Civil Affairs said "Israeli forces opened fire on a civilian vehicle" at the entrance to Bani Naim, without giving details on whether those inside had been attempting to ram soldiers.
A tanker turned back after being threatened by Iranian forces in the Strait of Hormuz, a British maritime agency reported.
"A tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz inbound was hailed by the IRGC and instructed to turn back, or the vessel would be targeted," the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Centre (UKMTO) said, referring to Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
"The master of the tanker has confirmed that they have complied with the instruction," the UKMTO said.
The ship was entering the strait near the Omani coastline, the agency added.
Iraqi Airways said it will resume direct flights to Iran on Thursday, with daily services from Najaf International Airport to three Iranian cities.
The Iraqi national carrier said in a statement that its flight schedule, beginning October 8, will include Tehran, Mashhad and Isfahan.
It said the move aims to facilitate passenger travel and provide regular air transport between Iraq and the Iranian cities.
On September 29, Iraq’s transport ministry announced that Iraqi Airways had secured a special exemption allowing it to operate flights to Iran, paving the way for their resumption in October after regulatory and technical requirements were completed.
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said that Israel was continuing its genocide in Gaza and was "progressively asphyxiating" the region, urging governments to take immediate action.
In a statement, MSF said the conditions for the people's survival were being "systematically destroyed" through sustained violence, "deliberate" blockade of essential supplies and the destruction of healthcare as well as infrastructure.
"In the past year, the physical trapping of people in Gaza has been made increasingly definitive by the establishment of Israel’s Yellow Line," the French medical charity said.
Recalling that it was originally presented as temporary, MSF noted that the line is now reinforced by military positions, berms and ongoing demolitions while it has continued to move west, "squeezing people into a smaller and smaller area."
