Houthis launched a targeted strike against Aden International Airport using ballistic missiles and explosive-laden drones, Yemen’s official news agency Saba reported Wednesday.
"The terrorist Houthi militias targeted Aden International Airport with two ballistic missiles and explosive-laden drones," the news agency stated in an official release on X.
The media office of Aden's security department confirmed that the attack occurred early Wednesday, adding that initial assessments recorded no casualties at the country's primary international aviation hub.
Aden International Airport serves as the primary gateway and critical civil aviation link for regions outside Houthi control.
The strike reflects a wider escalation in cross-border and regional military engagements involving Houthi drone and missile capabilities against government infrastructure and regional targets.
Security forces in the southern port city remain on high alert following the interception attempt and subsequent damage control measures across the airfield perimeter.
