One prediction market prices this story:

Will the Houthis enter Saudi Arabia by September 30? — resolved “No” on 1 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Houthi military forces physically enter any part of Saudi Arabia by 11:59 PM ET on September 30. Bombardment, naval presence, or diplomatic visits do not count as entry. Readers often mistake missile strikes or official claims for actual ground entry.
