At least 63 people were killed in two airstrikes in Yemen, according to the Houthis, including many women and children. The Houthis blame the Saudi-led coalition and threaten retaliation, while Riyadh announced it intercepted a cruise missile fired toward it. A hospital director in Sanaa said wounded patients arrived in critical condition with head, chest, and limb injuries, and that rescue teams were hit by additional strikes while trying to extract trapped people. Reuters emphasized that the claims could not be independently verified. A day earlier, at least 30 people were killed and eight wounded in an attack on a market in the Al-Wazaiya area of Taiz province. According to data cited by the New York Times, by the end of October nearly 1,800 people had been killed and over 300,000 displaced from their homes. The war, which began more than a decade ago, has also expanded to the Bab el-Mandeb strait.
