  "account": "Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi rebels launched two missiles at Aden's international airport on Wednesday morning, though no casualties were reported, according to the media office of Aden's security department. The attack occurred amidst escalating fighting, following weeks of Houthi advances along Yemen's Red Sea coast and a Saudi-backed government counteroffensive that has retaken areas near the Bab al-Mandab Strait with coalition air support.\n\nEarlier in the day, the Saudi-led coalition announced they had intercepted and destroyed a Houthi ballistic missile headed towards the southern Saudi city of Khamis Mushait, as reported by Saudi state television. The coalition stated the missile threats originated from Houthi-controlled Sanaa and the governorates of Saada and Amran.\n\nIn response, Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV claimed that Saudi forces had carried out a strike in a region covering the central governorates of Ibb and Taiz. However, there was no official confirmation from the Saudi-led coalition regarding this allegation.",
  "summary": "Two missiles targeted the airport, with no casualties reported, as Houthi forces and a Saudi-backed government coalition resumed fighting.",
