Yemen's Houthi Rebels Strike Interim Capital Aden for Second Consecutive Day

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels have struck the southern port city of Aden, the interim capital of the Yemeni government, for the second consecutive day, the Associated Press reported on the 16th local time.

According to Aden security officials and an air traffic controller, two projectiles landed at Aden Airport that night.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the officials said the targeted area is where military units allied with the Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces are stationed.

Immediate reports on casualties have not yet been confirmed.

Regarding the airport attack, a Houthi military source stated, "We targeted the Saudi military command headquarters and weapons depot at the Badr camp in Aden."

The previous day, the Houthi rebels attacked the presidential palace in Aden, which has served as the de facto capital of Yemen's internationally recognized government since 2015.
