Explosions rang out in the Saudi capital, as the kingdom was due to reopen Riyadh international airport despite Yemen's Houthis repeated attacks.

Riyadh's international airport said flights would resume on Sunday after a two-week closure following the Houthi strikes, with the Flight Radar monitoring site showing a plane taking off early in the day.

The militias have carried out waves of strikes on the airport, including an attack this month that killed 13 people and wounded more than 300, the deadliest in the kingdom in more than a decade.

Coalition forces intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched by Yemen’s Houthi militia towards Riyadh, the coalition said.

Earlier, Saudi Arabia’s civil defence had issued an alert over a potential threat in the capital before announcing that the danger had passed, state television reported.

The statements did not provide further details on any casualties or damage.

Nearly a decade of negotiations with the Houthi militia has failed to secure a political settlement, Yemen’s foreign minister said, pledging to continue military operations until the country’s objectives are achieved and the group is disarmed.

Afrah Al-Zouba said the Houthi militia is using periods of calm to build up their arsenal and repeatedly block efforts to end the conflict.

The government will not accept negotiations that give the group an opportunity to rearm, she told journalists in Istanbul.

Al-Zouba cited 2016 talks, saying the Houthi militia refused to sign a proposed agreement after roughly 100 days of negotiations. She also accused them of thwarting subsequent peace efforts, including initiatives that began in 2022.

She said Operation “Dawn of Yemen” would continue “firmly” until it met its objectives.

US President Donald Trump has reiterated his position that Iran must never be allowed to develop nuclear weapons.

“We obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity with Operation Midnight Hammer and Operation Epic Fury,” he said, referring to military operations in 2025 and then this February to May.

“We defeated them militarily, financially, and otherwise. We have to make sure that they never, ever have a nuclear weapon,” Trump added.

Israel has said it would close all land crossings with the occupied West Bank on election day.

"The political echelon approved a ban on the entry and exit of Palestinian workers throughout Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley, including industrial zones, as well as the closure of all land crossings throughout Election Day (Tuesday), October 27, 2026," the Israeli Army posted on Telegram.

Israeli forces turned Palestinian homes into barracks and observation posts after forcing residents to leave the city of Hebron on Saturday, day two of a military assault in the southern occupied West Bank, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

Troops took over homes in the Khallat Manna and Dahiyat al-Zaytoun areas of southern Hebron to be used as barracks, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported, citing sources.

They also forced residents from homes in other neighbourhoods and used the properties as observation posts, sources said.

US president questions whether Tehran would honour an agreement, saying his aim is to ensure Iran can never develop a nuclear weapon as he weighs new strikes.

The Yemeni army has said that its forces had “neutralised” 307 Houthi militia members in 736 operations during the last 24 hours, destroying or damaging 68 military vehicles and weapons.

It said the operations targeted command centres, troop concentrations, reinforcements, weapons depots, and supply routes under the “Dawn of Yemen” offensive.

The army did not specify how many Houthi militia were killed or wounded.

Coalition forces intercepted and destroyed a drone over Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh region, spokesperson Colonel Turki al-Maliki said in a brief statement on X.

Yemen’s Houthi militia has previously launched drone and missile attacks against Saudi Arabia.

US President Donald Trump has said Washington could strike Iran as soon as “tomorrow,” or reach a “big, beautiful” agreement with Tehran, amid reports that he is weighing renewed attacks on Tehran.

“We’re thinking about doing it, and maybe tomorrow,” Trump told reporters when asked how far along he was in considering a possible attack.

“I may have to finish it off, or maybe they’ll make a deal,” Trump said.
