Houthis attack Aden International Airport with missiles

Two Houthi missiles fell near the airport of the Yemeni city of Aden, reports Reuters. According to the Aden Department of Safety, there were no casualties.

The airport is a key international transport hub for areas controlled by government forces.

In addition, the Arab coalition led by Saudi Arabia announced the interception of a Houthi ballistic missile launched in the direction of the Saudi city of Hamis Mushait. In response, Houthi media reported Saudi forces hitting facilities between Ibb and Taiz provinces.

On October 5, Yemeni President Rashad al-Alimi announced the start of an operation to liberate the Houthi-held Red Sea coast and the capital Sanaa. The Ansar Allah movement in response urged airlines to avoid Saudi airspace as the skies would become a "theater of war.".
