Houthis launch attacks on Saudi Arabia and Yemen’s Aden

Houthi fighters have launched a series of attacks on targets in Saudi Arabia and the seat of Yemen’s internationally recognised government in Aden. In a Facebook post on Saturday, the Yemeni government’s Transport Ministry denounced what it described as the Houthis’ targeting of Aden International Airport with two ballistic missiles, calling it the “fourth such attack this month”. The airport attacks pose “a threat to the safety of civil aviation” and have “humanitarian and economic repercussions for citizens” who rely on it, the ministry warned. Yemeni authorities said that the coastguard headquarters and a second building were also hit. The Houthis claimed attacks on the al-Nasr camp and Aden’s naval military base.
