Yemen’s government says Houthis fired two missiles at Aden airport

Yemeni Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani said two missiles landed near the runway at Aden International Airport on Friday, about 500 metres from an aircraft preparing to take off. Passengers and crew were safe, he said, condemning the attack as a grave violation of international law. The Houthis said they had targeted the Saudi forces’ command headquarters at Badr camp in Aden province, as well as a weapons depot. The strike came amid intensifying civil-war fighting, as government forces claimed advances in Marib province.
