A ballistic missile hit Hayfan in Taiz governorate and killed four Yemenis from the same family, including three children, on Wednesday, according to Middle East Eye. Houthi-run al-Masirah TV blamed the killing of three children and a woman, with four other children wounded in the same district, on a Saudi airstrike. On November 3, Yemeni Interior Minister Ibrahim Ali Haidan accused Hezbollah and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of sending military instructors to command Houthi combat operations, develop missile and drone programs and coordinate attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, according to TASS. Hezbollah denied the allegations and said the Yemeni authorities' statements about support for the Houthi offensive, military training and rearmament are “completely baseless”, adding that “the Yemeni people have sufficient capabilities, resources, and experience to defend their country without external support.”YemenHezbollahHouthisConflictMiddle East https://sagire.online/wire/e143b49c/https://sagire.online/wire/e143b49c/Wed, 04 Nov 2026 14:23:00 -0300Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree announced three operations inside Saudi Arabia on Wednesday morning: the first with a drone against a radar facility on the Al-Qahmah Peninsula in the north of Jizan, in southern Saudi Arabia, the second with a ballistic missile against the Aqefa garrison in Najran, and the third against the border guard command and control building in Jizan, which resulted in deaths among Saudi soldiers and officers, according to the group.HouthisYemenSaudi ArabiaDronesConflict https://sagire.online/wire/737d99ee/https://sagire.online/wire/737d99ee/Wed, 04 Nov 2026 14:22:00 -0300Russia attacked overnight with 310 drones, including 81 jet-powered drones, according to Ukraine’s air force, which said it downed or suppressed 272 drones of various types.

Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay,” he wrote. President Donald Trump said that the Iran operation had to be done and continues, that he spoke to Vance on Wednesday morning and called the vice president’s post “good.” About 6 in 10 voters said the US made the “wrong decision” in taking military action against Iran, according to The AP Voter Poll, a survey of more than 100,000 voters. Vance called an earlier recommendation to end the war “sound advice,” while US officials say restarting major combat operations against Iran remains under consideration.United StatesIranElectionsConflict https://sagire.online/wire/510e3fc8/https://sagire.online/wire/510e3fc8/Wed, 04 Nov 2026 13:21:00 -0300According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), thousands of people are displaced in the city of Debre Berhan, in the Amhara region, and in Shire, in northwestern Tigray.

We sincerely hope that he will also continue his peacemaking efforts.”RussiaUkraineConflictEnergyDronesCritical infrastructure https://sagire.online/wire/d1177e4e/https://sagire.online/wire/d1177e4e/Wed, 04 Nov 2026 12:22:00 -0300Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the group’s forces carried out a ballistic missile strike on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and that the target was hit, in a statement carried by the Houthi-controlled SABA news agency.

Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei, head of the judiciary, said Trump “has suffered defeat both on the battlefield and in the political arena, and we will inflict further defeats on him,” and said November 4 had always been a day of defeat for the United States. Hamidreza Moqadamfar, an adviser to the commander of the Revolutionary Guard, said Iran’s response to any new aggression would be disproportionate and without geographic or time limits: “Our responses will no longer be proportionate or commensurate; we will set their assets ablaze—beyond the point of attack, and regardless of time or location.” The same adviser described the US election result as a referendum against Trump’s policies, in which Iran played a key role.IranElectionsUnited StatesConflict https://sagire.online/wire/4866939a/https://sagire.online/wire/4866939a/Wed, 04 Nov 2026 12:22:00 -0300US Vice President JD Vance attributed the Republican defeat in the midterm elections to the war with Iran, in a lengthy post on X: “The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.” Vance cited a survey according to which the top four answers from voters who left the Republicans were ending the war, cost of living and inflation, putting America first and changing the relationship with Israel. He wrote that anyone who considers the war a cost worth paying should defend it openly, including losing the Senate for the next six years. Trump said that “Iran was a piece of it” and defended the decision to launch the conflict: “I don’t think about it. I did the right thing. I would do it again.” AFP described the move as an attempt by Vance to distance himself from the conflict ahead of a possible 2028 White House run.United StatesElectionsIranIsraelConflict https://sagire.online/wire/b7c4fc25/https://sagire.online/wire/b7c4fc25/Wed, 04 Nov 2026 10:22:00 -0300Brigadier General Esmail Ghaani, commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), said Resistance Front commanders had received the message of borderless confrontation with the enemy and put it into practice.
