Two missiles strike close to the airport in Aden, Yemen, according to police sources cited by multiple outlets. The blasts are reported to be heard across the city, which serves as a temporary base for Yemen’s internationally recognized government.
The attack is described in the context of intensifying fighting between government forces and the Houthis across several fronts. Al Jazeera reports that Yemen’s government attributes the missile strikes to the Houthis. Separately, government officials say they have made advances in Marib governorate and claim they “neutralised” more than 430 Houthi fighters over the previous 24 hours.
Outlets largely agree on the immediate event—two missiles hitting or landing near Aden airport—and on the broader setting of ongoing exchanges of attacks since the conflict reignited in July. Some reports focus mainly on the incident itself, while others also include current claims of battlefield activity in areas such as Marib and Taiz.
