Houthi forces advance in south-west Yemen, strike Aden airport as Cairo flight diverted

Houthi fighters are making slow advances in south-west Yemen, approaching Taiz and striking Aden airport with an explosive moments before a Cairo-bound flight was due to land, forcing diversion to Jeddah. The attack, which the British ambassador says could have endangered thousands, signals an escalation in the Houthi offensive against the Saudi-backed government's key hub. The extent of the advance and the full impact on airport operations remain uncertain.
