Two missiles launched by the Houthi group targeted Aden International Airport in Yemen, with no casualties reported, according to BBC Arabic, as the group's attacks on targets inside Saudi territory escalate.
The strike on the airport came as fighting continued around the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the strategic maritime passage that has seen recurring tensions for months due to Houthi attacks on commercial and military vessels passing through the region.
The source material did not specify the extent of any damage to the airport's facilities, nor did it clarify further details about the nature of the recent attacks on Saudi territory or the specific sites targeted there.
These developments come amid a broader escalation in the pace of military operations linked to the Houthis, who have controlled large areas of Yemen for years amid an ongoing war with the internationally recognized Yemeni government and a Saudi-led coalition.
No details were available in the source material about the official response of Yemeni or Saudi authorities to these attacks.
