Houthis Launch Missile Attacks on Aden Airport and Saudi Sites Amid Yemen Fighting
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis launched ballistic missiles and drones targeting Aden International Airport and several sites in Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport, amid intensified fighting. The Saudi-led coalition intercepted missiles aimed at Khamis Mushait and north of Riyadh. The attacks coincide with a Saudi-backed Yemeni government counteroffensive to reclaim territory along Yemen's Red Sea coast and near the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait. No casualties were reported from the airport strikes, and some flights were diverted or disrupted.
