Yemen war live: Yemeni forces claim key heights as Houthi attacks go on

On October 7, Houthi rebels attacked Aden International Airport in southern Yemen with at least two ballistic missiles and several drones, targeting the runway and passenger terminal. No casualties were reported, but a flight from Cairo was diverted to Jeddah due to the threat. The attack came as Saudi Arabia’s Jazan and Najran airports were also hit by Houthi strikes. Meanwhile, Saudi-led coalition forces claimed control of the strategic Bab al-Mandeb strait, while government forces pushed back against recent Houthi advances along Yemen's Red Sea coast. Yemen’s internationally recognized government launched a counteroffensive named "Dawn of Yemen," aiming to retake Sanaa and restore state institutions from Houthi control.
