Latest news on the Yemen war and Houthi airstrikes

Adan (Caasimada Online) – The war in Yemen is intensifying, as today the Houthis targeted the international airport in the city of Adan with two missiles, according to the Media Office of the Adan Security Directorate.

No casualties have yet been reported from the attack. The Saudi-led coalition also stated that it intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile that was headed for the city of Khamis Mushait in southern Saudi Arabia.

According to the coalition, the missiles and other aerial threats were launched from areas controlled by the Houthis, including the capital Sanaa and the provinces of Saada and Amran.

Media supporting the Houthis also reported that Saudi forces conducted airstrikes in parts of the Ibb and Taiz provinces in central Yemen. However, there has been no independent verification of these claims so far.

The Saudi coalition also stated on Tuesday that it intercepted a missile fired by the Houthis towards Saudi territory, with these incidents occurring as Yemeni government forces claim they are conducting operations to retake areas previously seized by the Houthis.

The Houthi military spokesman, Yahya Saree, denied claims that the group has lost territory it previously held, stating that they still control all the areas they seized last month, particularly the regions along the Red Sea coast.

The Yemeni government has stated that its forces have removed the Houthis from areas near the Bab al-Mandab waterway and the port city of Mocha, with these operations being part of the ongoing battles in the western part of the country.

The actual situation on the ground remains difficult to independently verify, as the claims from the warring sides contradict each other, while the security situation and ongoing battles also hinder journalists from reaching the areas where the clashes are occurring.

Regarding casualties, the Houthi Ministry of Health has reported that six people from one family, including four children, were killed in an airstrike carried out by Saudi Arabia on a village in the Hajjah region. This claim has also not been independently verified.

The Houthis have claimed that on Monday they attacked the Riyadh airport and a refinery owned by the Saudi company Aramco, which is part of the escalating attacks both sides are using with missiles and airstrikes.
