Missile strikes reported in Yemen’s government seat, Aden

The Iran-backed Houthi movement has repeatedly attacked Aden amid the ongoing conflict, which is partly a direct consequence of the Iran-Iraq war.

Two missiles were fired at facilities belonging to the Saudi-led alliance fighting the Houthis. The facilities are near the Gulf of Aden, which leads to the Red Sea.

A third missile was fired at an area in central Aden.

The Houthi movement has recently attacked targets in both Saudi Arabia and parts of Yemen amid the escalating conflict. Saudi Arabia and its allies have in turn attacked Houthi targets.
