Yemen's Houthi Rebels Attack Airport in Temporary Capital Aden

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi rebels have attacked the airport in Aden, the temporary capital of the Yemeni government.

The Houthis currently control the capital Sanaa and most of northwestern Yemen.

According to Yemeni authorities and other sources, flight operations at Aden International Airport were suspended following a Houthi rebel attack on the 28th local time, causing structural damage to the airport building and nearby houses from the explosions.

Houthi military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree had previously issued a warning regarding the attack on Aden Airport via social media.

Saree wrote that "Saudi military transport aircraft are transporting weapons to kill the Yemeni people," and urged soldiers and residents stationed at Aden Airport to "evacuate the airport immediately."

On the 4th, the Yemeni government forces and the Saudi-led coalition declared the "Dawn of Yemen" operation to retake territory controlled by the Houthis and launched a large-scale offensive.

In response, the Houthis counterattacked by firing ballistic missiles toward King Khalid International Airport in the Saudi capital Riyadh and Aramco oil facilities.
