Trump cancela ataque aéreo mientras hutíes capturan puertos del Mar Rojo

Seguridad

El presidente Donald Trump anuló un ataque aéreo de EE.  UU. contra los rebeldes hutíes en Yemen, informó Al Jazeera, mientras el grupo capturaba puertos del Mar Rojo y avanzaba hacia posiciones montañosas en las provincias de Taiz y Lahj, dejando cientos de muertos y desplazando a más de 158 000 personas. Estos avances se produjeron tras una serie de ataques a principios de semana, cuando los hutíes declararon haber lanzado misiles y drones contra Riad y el puerto de Yanbu, los cuales las defensas aéreas saudíes interceptaron sin causar víctimas (Euronews, Reuters, NPR).

Las autoridades saudíes también confirmaron la intercepción de un misil balístico dirigido a Riad y la aparición de humo y fuego cerca del aeropuerto internacional King Khalid, lo que provocó interrupciones temporales (Yahoo News Canada, The Guardian). Los incidentes provocaron una caída en los mercados bursátiles de Arabia Saudí y del Golfo (Reuters) y generaron debates en EE.  UU. sobre una posible respuesta militar, con líderes del Pentágono divididos sobre el apoyo a los ataques saudíes (NPR, NBC News).

Resumen

The claim that the Houthi movement struck targets in Saudi Arabia's capital and the Red Sea port of Yanbu on September 19, 2026, was partially confirmed. The report of a ballistic missile launched by Houthi rebels toward the capital on September 20, 2026, being intercepted with no casualties reported had insufficient evidence. It was partially confirmed that Saudi Arabia's stock exchange opened lower following Houthi claims of missile and drone strikes on Riyadh on September 20, 2026. The claim of intense fighting in Yemen’s Taiz and Lahj provinces resulting in hundreds of deaths and over 158,000 displaced people on September 22, 2026, was partially confirmed. The statement by Saudi authorities that the incidents caused no injuries or damage was also partially confirmed.
