Explosions erupted near Aden International Airport after officials with Yemen's internationally recognized government announced that Houthi forces had launched two missiles at the facility. The attack underscores escalating tensions in the war-torn nation, where the Saudi-backed administration has faced repeated strikes from the Houthi movement.
Aden, a major port city and temporary seat of the government, has been a frequent target of Houthi attacks in recent months. The airport serves as a critical infrastructure hub for the government-controlled south and a strategic location for regional operations.
The Houthis, who control much of northern Yemen including the capital Sanaa, have conducted numerous missile and drone attacks against government positions and infrastructure. These strikes have intensified amid broader regional tensions and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
No immediate reports of casualties or significant damage assessments were available following the attack. The incident comes amid fragile ceasefires and diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the conflict that has devastated the Arabian Peninsula nation since 2015.
