Summary

The Houthis claimed responsibility for missile strikes on Aden International Airport in southern Yemen on October 28, 2026, halting air traffic. Reports indicate two ballistic missiles hit the facility, with the Transport Ministry and armed forces confirming the attack. Casualty figures show 14 deaths and 15 injured. The Houthis had issued an evacuation warning beforehand, claiming a Saudi military cargo aircraft carrying weapons was present at the airport, though this was not independently verified. Residents in the southern port city said they heard an explosion near the airport. Saudi authorities have not confirmed the incident. The attack represents part of a series of strikes against the airport in recent days and follows the breakdown of a 2022 UN-brokered truce amid intensified fighting between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition.
