Explosions were reported in the vicinity of Aden International Airport in Yemen following an alleged missile attack. The Saudi-backed Yemeni government identified the projectiles as having been launched by Houthi forces.

While the government has attributed the strike to the Houthi movement, the group has not yet issued a formal statement confirming or denying their involvement in the incident. The airport, which serves as a critical hub for the internationally recognized government, has been a frequent point of tension throughout the ongoing Yemeni conflict.

Reports indicate that the explosions occurred near the facility, though initial assessments suggest that airport operations were not immediately halted. There is currently no verified information regarding injuries or structural damage to the airport infrastructure. The situation remains fluid as security forces assess the impact of the projectiles. The lack of immediate comment from Houthi leadership leaves the specific intent and tactical objective of the strike unconfirmed at this time.
