Houthi forces launch two missiles that target Yemen’s Aden International Airport early on Wednesday, prompting explosions near the airport, according to announcements from Aden’s security department media office reported by multiple outlets. Aden officials say no casualties are reported from the attack.
The missile strike occurs as fighting in Yemen intensifies. One report links the attack to renewed Houthi activity after weeks of advances along Yemen’s Red Sea coast and to a Saudi-backed government counteroffensive, supported by coalition air power, that has regained areas around the strategic Bab al-Mandab Strait. Another outlet also notes wider strike claims, including missiles fired toward locations in Saudi Arabia.
While the sources consistently describe the Aden airport attack and the lack of reported casualties, they differ in emphasis—some focus on local impact in Aden, while others place the event within the broader regional escalation involving additional claimed targets in Saudi cities.
