PDB Afternoon Bulletin | October 20th, 2026: British Fighter Jets Enter the Fight Against The Houthis & China Sends Bombers Toward Taiwan

• Deadly Houthi strike: Three Houthi ballistic missiles hit the Al Alam training camp in Shabwa, killing at least 73 Saudi-backed recruits (ages 18-20) and wounding 200+.
