Houthis Launch Missiles at Yemen's Aden Airport Amid Escalating Conflict
Yemen's Aden international airport was targeted by two missiles launched by Iran-aligned Houthi forces, with no casualties reported. This attack occurred amid intensified fighting following Houthi advances along Yemen's Red Sea coast and a Saudi-backed government counteroffensive supported by coalition airstrikes. Concurrently, the Saudi-led coalition intercepted a ballistic missile aimed at the southern Saudi city of Khamis Mushait, attributing threats to Houthi-controlled regions. Houthi-affiliated media reported Saudi strikes in central Yemen, though these were unconfirmed by the coalition.
