Houthi missiles were reported to have struck Aden airport, while another missile was intercepted over Riyadh, according to a live update from Al Jazeera on the conflict involving Yemen's Houthi forces.
Separately, Yemeni forces said they had tightened their control over the highest peak in the Jabal Habashi district of Taiz, a contested area that has seen ongoing fighting between Houthi forces and their opponents within Yemen.
The reported strike on Aden airport adds to a pattern of attacks by Houthi forces on infrastructure and targets associated with the Saudi-backed government and its allies, while the interception over Riyadh reflects continued missile activity directed at Saudi territory.
Fighting around Taiz has remained a persistent feature of the broader conflict in Yemen, with control over strategic high ground such as Jabal Habashi carrying tactical significance for forces operating in the area.
Details on casualties or damage from the reported strikes on Aden airport were not fully confirmed at the time of the report, and the situation on the ground continued to develop.
