Two missiles fired by Yemen's Houthi movement targeted Aden International Airport in southern Yemen, local security authorities said, according to Anadolu Agency. No casualties were reported in the attack.
Aden, which serves as the seat of Yemen's internationally recognized government, has periodically come under attack from Houthi forces, who control much of the country's north and have been engaged in a prolonged conflict with the Saudi-backed government and allied forces for years.
Security officials in the city said the missiles struck in the vicinity of the airport, though they did not report any deaths or injuries resulting from the strike. Authorities have not yet detailed the extent of any damage to airport infrastructure.
The attack adds to a pattern of intermittent Houthi strikes on government-held areas of Yemen, including Aden, as fighting between the two sides has continued despite periodic ceasefire efforts and international mediation attempts.
Further details on the incident, including any response from Yemeni government forces or international partners, had not been released at the time of reporting.
