Explosions were reported near Aden International Airport in Yemen after the country's Saudi-backed government said two missiles were fired at the airport by Houthi forces, according to Al Jazeera.

The report does not specify whether the missiles struck the airport directly, the extent of any damage, or whether there were casualties. Aden has served as the seat of Yemen's internationally recognized government since Houthi forces took control of the capital, Sanaa, in 2014, making infrastructure in and around the city a recurring point of friction in the broader conflict.

The Houthis, an Iran-aligned armed movement, have periodically launched attacks on targets associated with the Saudi-backed government and its allies as part of the long-running Yemeni civil war, which has also drawn in regional and international actors over the past decade.

Al Jazeera's report does not include a statement from the Houthi movement confirming or addressing the government's account of the attack, nor does it detail the current operational status of the airport following the reported incident.

Further details on the aftermath, including any response from Saudi Arabia or international aviation authorities, were not included in the available source material.
