Yemen’s government says Houthis fired two missiles at Aden airport
Attack comes as Yemeni gov't forces claim advances in Marib and say they 'neutralised' 430 Houthi fighters in 24 hours.
Two missiles landed near the airport in Aden, Yemen, a city that currently hosts the internationally recognized government, according to police sources. Earlier reports indicated blasts were heard throughout the city. The attacks occurred as the conflict between government forces and the Houthis continues to escalate on multiple fronts, with both sides engaging in attacks since the fighting resumed in July.
Government forces claimed they had "neutralized" over 430 Houthi fighters in the past 24 hours. Military spokesperson Majed al-Nazili reported that government forces had captured key positions in Marib governorate and were "continuing to exert escalating operational pressure" on the southern and western fronts. He added that warplanes in Taiz were conducting precision strikes, decimating militia reinforcement convoys and combat formations.
