Houthis Strike Aden Airport After Evacuation Warning

Breaking news from Yemen: Houthi forces have attacked Aden International Airport following an urgent warning for civilians to evacuate the facility. According to government officials and verified by Reuters, the strike occurred today after the Iran-aligned Houthi group alleged the presence of a Saudi military cargo plane at the airport carrying weapons intended for use against the Yemeni people. Residents reported hearing explosions prior to the evacuation alert. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed responsibility for the attack, asserting that the evacuation order was necessary due to the aircraft’s arrival. The nature and extent of the damage from the missile strike have not yet been independently confirmed, and there has been no immediate response from Saudi authorities. This incident comes amid renewed clashes in Yemen, shattering an earlier ceasefire and escalating tensions in the region.
