Houthi forces claimed a new attack on Riyadh's international airport, causing explosions and flight disruptions, ahead of regional diplomatic talks. Concurrently, Houthis ordered an immediate evacuation of Aden International Airport, suggesting an imminent strike. The timing of the Riyadh attack indicates an intent to influence ongoing diplomatic efforts, while the Aden evacuation represents a notable escalation in psychological warfare and potential kinetic action.
A Houthi-issued evacuation order for Aden International Airport was followed by a missile strike near the facility, specifically at Al-Nasr Camp. This confirms a direct Houthi attack on infrastructure in the Saudi-backed government's interim capital, escalating the conflict. The full impact on operations and potential casualties remains unconfirmed.
