Saudi-led coalition has released footage of strikes on Houthi militia positions in Yemen’s Hudaida and Dhamar provinces.

Authorities are investigating an incident reported in the Strait of Hormuz after the master of a merchant vessel relayed a Mayday call that another vessel had been struck by an unknown projectile, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations agency.

The Saudi-led coalition has said that it intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile and a drone launched by the Houthi militia toward southern Saudi Arabia.

In two separate statements on X, coalition spokesperson Turki al-Maliki said air defences had intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile, followed by an announcement that a drone had also been shot down.

Both were launched by the Houthi militia toward the kingdom’s southern region, according to the statements.

Saudi civil defence has issued alerts, warning of potential danger in the Abha and Khamis Mushait areas of the country.

However, the authorities later said that the danger had passed.

Over 300,000 people have fled their homes in western Yemen because of intensifying fighting in the country, pitting the Houthi militia against government forces, the UN said.

Almost all were displaced in the last two months, and they "urgently need shelter, food, clean water and health care", the International Organization for Migration said in a statement.

The Saudi-led coalition has said that it carried out a military operation to “neutralise vital resources” used by the Houthi militia to support its war effort and strengthen its military capabilities, particularly ballistic missiles and drones.

Coalition spokesperson Turki al-Maliki said in a statement that the operation took place Sunday morning following continued Houthi militia attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure in Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

The coalition’s joint forces command had monitored the Houthis’ “continued use of vital resources to support their war effort and bolster their military capabilities, especially ballistic missiles and drones,” he said.

Iran is rapidly strengthening its armed forces’ combat capabilities to enable them to respond “without geographical limits", Defence Minister Mehrdad Akhlaghi Ketabchi said.

Speaking to reporters, Akhlaghi said Iran was moving “resolutely” to enhance its armed forces’ smart combat capabilities under directives from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.

“We are rapidly increasing our armed forces’ combat capabilities to be able to respond without geographical limits,” he said.

Iran “will not be caught off guard, nor will we be stopped, and any type of attack will receive an appropriate, decisive and effective response,” he added.

Akhlaghi stressed that Iran “would not be surprised by threats, halted by pressure or dependent on the will of others in pursuing scientific and technological progress.”

Gaza's interior ministry says the five people killed in the strike were identified as police officers.

Qatar has strongly condemned an attack on the liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker Al Mayeda while it was sailing in the Gulf, warning that the incident threatened maritime navigation and global energy supplies.

In a statement, the foreign ministry said the vessel belonged to Qatar Gas Transport Company, known as Nakilat.

The ministry described the attack as “a dangerous act that threatens the safety of maritime navigation and the security of global energy supplies.”

Qatar “reserves the right to take all necessary measures under international law and the UN Charter to protect its property, safeguard its interests and ensure the safety of its vessels and crews,” it said.

Yamaha has said it will not participate in next weekend's Qatar MotoGP, citing "the situation in the Middle East".

Yamaha stated in its statement that it would not be taking the risk of going to Qatar.

"Yamaha has not identified sufficient grounds to change its existing company-wide travel restrictions," the Japanese manufacturer said.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said talks with Qatari mediators to end the US-Iran war are ongoing and progressing, without a definitive conclusion yet, and hopes for rationality on the other side, Iranian state media has reported.

"We hope that there is rationality on the other side," Araghchi said.

Diplomatic efforts to end the war have been punctuated by repeated threats from the United States and Israel to resume bombardments of Iran.

Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council issued two decrees, appointing new governors for al-Bayda in central Yemen and al-Jawf in the north, two provinces partially controlled by the Houthi militia.

The government-run Saba News Agency said it appointed Major General Hussein al-Ajji Ali al-Awadhi as governor of al-Bayda.

The agency added that Major General Amin Ali al-Akimi was also named governor of al-Jawf and commander of its military axis.

Al-Awadhi replaces former al-Bayda governor Nasser al-Sawadi, while al-Akimi takes over al-Jawf from al-Awadhi, who had served as the province’s governor.

OPEC+ oil-producing countries kept production targets steady for December at a meeting, confirming expectations that more policy adjustments will not occur until next year, as the group continues to struggle with export disruptions from the Iran war.

Seven core OPEC+ members — Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan and Oman — decided in an online meeting on Sunday, OPEC said in a statement.

While Gulf members have been boosting exports that have been disrupted for months by the conflict, most are still pumping well below their targets.

OPEC+ comprises the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies including Russia. Only the seven members – plus the United Arab Emirates until it quit OPEC in May – have been involved in monthly output decisions in recent years. All members of the 21-country group are due to meet on November 29, when analysts expect it will decide 2027 quotas.

The UAE is hoping for a breakthrough in negotiations between Iran and the United States while being prepared for the worst, a senior official said on Sunday, following threats of a resumption of the Middle East war.

"We're hoping that there is a diplomatic breakthrough," diplomatic adviser to the Emirati president Anwar Gargash said during a conference in Manama. "It is not the interest of the region to go through another round... But I think we're also, as we've shown before, braced for the worst."

Iranian negotiators were in Doha for a third consecutive day of talks with Qatari mediators aimed at pushing for a deal to end the US-Israeli war on Iran, an official briefed on the talks told Reuters.

Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed at least eight Palestinians since Sunday morning, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA, citing medical sources.

Five people were killed and several others injured in an Israeli drone strike targeting the Al Mawasi area west of Khan Younis. Another Palestinian was killed and several wounded, some critically, when Israeli forces struck a gathering of people near Taj Mall on Al Thawra Street in western Gaza City.

Israel's military operation in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron continues for a 10th consecutive day, with around 537 Palestinian families, comprising 3,300 people, forced to leave their homes.

The operation has affected an estimated 5,000 people, caused daily economic losses exceeding 12 million shekels ($3.8 million) and damaged infrastructure, health and environmental services.

Israeli forces have detained 14 foreign activists from seven countries while they were participating in the Palestinian olive harvest in the occupied West Bank.

The activists, from the US, Italy, Ireland, Switzerland, Portugal, the Netherlands and Australia, face deportation on allegations of disturbing public order.

Iran warned that any new war with the United States could last longer than the previous conflict and that US President Donald Trump would not be the one to determine its duration.

"A potential future war could last longer than previous conflict, and the American president would not be in a position to dictate the timing or the conditions of its conclusion," said army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia, according to Iranian state television.

A Qatari liquefied natural gas carrier was struck by "unidentified objects" while sailing through Gulf waters on Friday evening, Qatar Gas Transport Company announced on Sunday.

The company, also known as Nakilat, said its vessel Al Mayeda was involved in the incident but reported no injuries among crew members or environmental damage.

"None of the crew members onboard were injured, and there is no impact on the environment as a result of this incident," the company said in a statement published on the Qatar Stock Exchange.
