Houthis Launch Missile Attacks on Yemen and Saudi Airports Amid Escalating Conflict
Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis launched missile and drone attacks on Aden International Airport and multiple airports and military sites in Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh's King Khalid and Abha airports. The attacks caused three deaths and dozens of injuries in Saudi Arabia, with flights briefly disrupted. Saudi-led coalition forces intercepted some missiles and responded with airstrikes targeting Houthi positions. Fighting has intensified around Yemen's Red Sea coast and the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait amid a Saudi-backed government counteroffensive to reclaim territory from the Houthis.
