On October 15, 2026 Beijing time, the Saudi-led coalition issued a statement publicly accusing Yemen's Houthi forces of obtaining advanced weapons and equipment with the assistance of "regional powers." The coalition strongly condemned this and called on the international community to take action to prevent armed groups from acquiring such military technology in order to maintain regional security and stability. According to the X account @clashreport, the coalition emphasized that the Houthis have become the first non-state armed group to obtain such advanced technology.
