Yemen’s government says Houthis target Aden airport with ballistic missiles twice

• Yemen’s internationally recognized government says the Houthis targeted Aden International Airport with ballistic missiles in two attacks.
• The Ministry of Transport says the strikes bring the total number of attacks on the airport to six within a few days.

Yemen’s Ministry of Transport has accused the Houthis of targeting Aden International Airport with several ballistic missiles in two separate attacks, bringing the reported number of attacks on the civilian facility to six within a few days.

In a statement, the ministry, which operates under Yemen’s internationally recognized government, condemned the repeated strikes and warned of the risks they pose to civilian aviation.

The ministry described the attacks as a “direct threat” to the lives of travelers, flight crews and airport workers, saying they endangered civil aviation as well as humanitarian and relief operations.

It held the Houthis fully responsible for the attacks and called on the international community and United Nations bodies to take action to prevent further strikes.

The ministry specifically urged the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to condemn the attacks and act urgently to stop them.

The statement did not provide further details about the timing of the two latest attacks, the missiles used or whether the strikes caused casualties or damage at the airport.

The allegations come amid continued security concerns surrounding critical infrastructure in Yemen. Further details about the reported attacks and any response from the Houthis were not included in the ministry’s statement.
