Saudi Airstrikes Kill Dozens in Yemen as Houthis Tighten Siege and Target Aden Airport
Saudi-led airstrikes in northern Yemen killed at least 14 people, including children, at a crowded market in al-Hazm, al-Jawf province. Concurrently, Iran-backed Houthi forces tightened their siege of Taiz and launched ballistic missile strikes on Aden airport, causing runway damage and prompting flight diversions. The Houthis urged civilians to evacuate the airport, alleging a Saudi military cargo plane was present, a claim unverified by independent sources. The conflict has intensified since a truce ended, with casualties mounting on both sides.
