Aden International Airport, seat of Yemen's internationally recognized government, was attacked on Wednesday by drones and missiles, the state news agency Saba announced. The attack was attributed to the Houthi movement, which controls a large part of northern Yemen.
Hours before the attack, the Saudi-led military coalition said it had intercepted a ballistic missile fired by the Houthis north of Riyadh, according to information reported by France 24.
These incidents come as the Yemeni conflict, which has for several years pitted the internationally recognized government against the Iran-backed Houthi movement, continues to see renewed tension in the region.
The same day marks, in Israel, the third anniversary of the October 7 attacks, an anniversary that comes against a regional backdrop still marked by sharp tensions in the Middle East.
No precise human or material toll from the attack on Aden airport has been reported so far. The situation continues to be closely monitored by Yemeni authorities and regional actors involved in the conflict.
