Yemen’s army accused the Houthis of firing ballistic missiles at civilians and civilian facilities in Aden on Friday evening, renewing allegations of attacks in the country’s south.
Col. Majed Abdullah al-Nuzaili, a Yemeni armed forces spokesman, said the military would continue efforts to safeguard civilians and state institutions. He characterized the attack as a further intensification of the conflict. The army’s statement did not identify a site in Aden or provide figures for casualties or damage.
Separately, state-run Saba reported that a Houthi missile targeted Aden International Airport. Residents told Anadolu Agency they heard an explosion nearby. That earlier account does not establish that the airport was targeted in the Friday attack described by the army.
In a separate earlier account, al-Nuzaili said one ballistic missile was aimed at Aden International Airport and three struck al-Rayyan Airport in Mukalla. EconoTimes previously covered the military’s claims involving Aden and Mukalla airports. Those earlier allegations are distinct from Friday’s statement, which did not name a location.
