Early on Wednesday, Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched ballistic missile and explosive-laden drone attacks targeting the international airport in the southern Yemeni city of Aden, as well as military facilities and airports in neighboring Saudi Arabia. The attacks occurred amid an intensification of fighting across several fronts between the Houthi movement and Saudi-backed government forces.
The escalation marks a deepening of the conflict in Yemen, where a Saudi-led coalition is pushing to reverse Houthi gains in a revived civil war. According to reports, the heightened hostilities are also deepening a new front in the wider regional conflict involving Iran and threatening a crucial shipping alternative.
