Missiles Target Aden Airport as Saudi Arabia Intercepts Incoming Fire

Yemen's Houthi movement targeted Aden's main airport as Saudi air defenses faced a separate wave of incoming missiles and drones, adding to regional risk watched by energy and broader markets.

The group had not claimed responsibility for the Aden attack. Aden is Yemen's interim capital.

Saudi-led coalition forces intercepted several missiles and drones directed toward Saudi territory during the escalation. The interceptions included a ballistic missile bound for Yanbu and cruise missiles over the Red Sea. No immediate casualties were reported.

Together, the incidents put regional security in focus: an airport in Yemen's interim capital was targeted while missiles were intercepted over Saudi territory and the Red Sea. The Houthi movement and Yemen's Saudi-backed government have fought a protracted conflict. The escalation may increase the likelihood of airspace restrictions and further fighting, while adding to regional risk tracked by energy and broader markets.
