The Houthis claim responsibility for a ballistic missile attack against Saudi military targets at Aden airport

On Wednesday, October 21, Houthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile attack targeting the southern coastal city of Aden. According to reports citing official claims and local witnesses, the strike was directed at a military camp in the Badr zone, located near the Aden airport.

The attack occurred amid an escalation of hostilities and a surge in fighting between the rebels and opposing forces that began in early September. The Houthi movement specifically characterized the operation as targeting Saudi military objectives situated within the airport area.

While the rebels asserted that the missile successfully struck its intended targets, details regarding casualties or the exact extent of the physical damage caused by the ballistic missile remain unelaborated in the available reports.
