  "account": "Aden Governor Abdulrahman Sheikh has stated that Houthi attacks on the city will not prevent officials from performing their duties and that normal life will resume. In an interview on television, Sheikh emphasized that all institutions and residents of Aden are working to restore stability in the area. He further stated that the city's conditions have returned to normal and that the governorate will overcome the current challenges, just as it has in the past, despite the actions of the Houthi militia. Two rockets fired by Houthi forces struck the grounds of Aden International Airport but did not result in any injuries. Local security forces have warned that continued attacks could pose a significant risk to air traffic. The Yemeni army is actively engaging in combat against the Iran-backed Houthi militia across all fronts, aiming to neutralize their threats, deter them from approaching crucial locations, and restore security throughout the nation.",
