Houthis launched attacks on Saudi-led coalition targets following allegations that the kingdom killed eight fishermen off the coast of the Taiz governorate in Yemen. The Yemeni group, known as Ansar Allah, accused the Saudi Arabia of targeting civilians in the region. In response, Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree claimed to have fired a ballistic missile at the coalition's military operation room in Aden, describing the strike as "precise and direct."

Moreover, Al Jazeera's reporters on the ground reported that Aden International Airport was hit by another missile earlier that day. Additionally, four drones aimed at Saudi Arabia were intercepted and destroyed by the coalition, according to a statement from Turki al-Maliki, the coalition's spokesperson. The latest strikes follow a series of incidents that the Houthi-affiliated health ministry reported killed eight fishermen overnight, with the ministry condemning the attack as a violation of international humanitarian law.
