Aden, Yemen | October 7, 2026 Two missiles launched by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi forces targeted Aden International Airport early Wednesday, according to the media office of Aden’s Security Department. Local security authorities reported no casualties after the attack. Aden International Airport is a major international gateway serving parts of Yemen that remain outside Houthi control. The attack occurs as fighting between Houthi forces and Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces continues to intensify across Yemen. Saudi-backed forces have recently launched a major counteroffensive along Yemen’s Red Sea coast and around the strategically important Bab el-Mandeb Strait, with coalition air support. Government forces have reported recapturing several areas from the Houthis, although the full extent of their territorial gains is unclear. The latest missile attack on Aden follows further Houthi activity targeting Saudi Arabia. Earlier Wednesday, the Saudi-led coalition said it had intercepted a Houthi ballistic missile launched toward Khamis Mushait in southern Saudi Arabia. Fighting has also intensified around Taiz. At the same time, Saudi Arabia continues to support the Yemeni government's military campaign against the Houthis. The latest developments could have wider consequences for Red Sea shipping, regional security, and the broader Middle East conflict.
