Yemen's government confirmed two missiles struck Aden airport on Friday night, narrowly missing a departing passenger plane. The attack occurred as a flight bound for Cairo prepared to take off, with the missiles landing just 500 meters from the aircraft and 100 meters from the runway midpoint. No casualties were reported. The Houthi militia, backed by Iran, is accused of launching the attack.
Iran has denied any involvement in the Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, rejecting Saudi Arabia's recent accusations. The country reiterated its stance that it has no connection to the group's actions. The Houthi attacks have intensified in recent weeks, with reports of significant military gains in the region.
The conflict in Yemen has escalated, with the Houthi rebels gaining control of key positions in Marib. The Yemeni government claims 430 Houthis were killed in the area. The situation remains volatile, with ongoing clashes and missile attacks affecting civilian infrastructure. The international community continues to monitor the developments closely, with calls for de-escalation and humanitarian aid.
