Yemen's Houthi rebels launched two missiles at Aden International Airport in southern Yemen early Wednesday, according to local officials. While there were no reported casualties, the attack intensified ongoing conflicts between the rebels and government forces supported by Saudi Arabia. Additionally, the Houthis claimed attacks on Abha airport and King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia using ballistic missiles and drones; however, these claims have not been confirmed by Saudi authorities. The incident highlights escalating tensions along Yemen’s Red Sea coast as government forces attempt to reclaim lost territory with coalition support.

Story summary
On October 7, Houthi rebels, aligned with Iran, launched at least two missiles targeting Aden International Airport in southern Yemen. No casualties were reported, but the attack forced a flight from Cairo to divert its route to Jeddah due to safety concerns. The airport serves as the primary international gateway outside Houthi control for parts of Yemen. This assault came amid renewed fighting after weeks of Houthi advances along Yemen's Red Sea coast and counteroffensive efforts by Saudi-backed government forces with coalition air support, aiming to recapture strategic areas around the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. Additionally, the Saudi-led coalition intercepted another missile north of Riyadh that was launched from Houthi-controlled Sanaa.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
