Houthis Call for Evacuation and Attack Aden Airport Amid Escalating Yemen Conflict
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis called for immediate evacuation of Aden airport, citing the presence of a Saudi military cargo aircraft carrying weapons. Shortly after, the Houthis launched an attack on the airport, halting air traffic and prompting some UN staff to leave. Explosions were also reported in other parts of Aden amid intensified fighting between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed government. The conflict has escalated recently, breaking a 2022 truce and worsening Yemen's humanitarian crisis.
