A ballistic missile launched by the Iran-backed Houthi forces from Ayal Sayyad malfunctioned and crashed into a home in the Nihm district, east of Sanaa, reportedly killing an entire family. According to Yemeni military sources, the missile failed to maintain its trajectory, also damaging a neighbouring house and causing significant civilian casualties. The incident highlights the risks associated with Houthi missile operations, as similar launch failures have been reported in other regions. Market pricing suggests increased perception of risk to Saudi airspace, while further military activity or missile incidents could affect expectations regarding Houthi advances towards strategic areas such as Aden. Saudi Arabia and other regional actors will monitor any response from the General Authority of Civil Aviation, the air defence forces and diplomatic actors.
