Houthi Forces Launch Ballistic Missiles at Civilians in Aden

Houthi forces fired ballistic missiles at civilian areas and infrastructure in Aden last Friday. Military spokesperson Majed Al-Nuzaili described the offensive as a serious escalation that threatens the safety of residents in Yemen's interim capital.

The Yemeni army held the Iran-backed militia responsible for the consequences of the attack. According to local authorities, the group has repeatedly targeted civilian sites in response to battlefield defeats.

The government reaffirmed the continuation of the Dawn of Yemen operation to protect state institutions. The spokesperson pointed out that counter-attack measures will follow international humanitarian law standards.

The recent record includes an attack on Aden International Airport on October 28. On that occasion, civilians were injured and infrastructure suffered damage that disrupted flight operations in the region.

The United Nations reported that the conflict has worsened the humanitarian crisis in the country. Since August, more than 333,000 people have been displaced due to intensified fighting and the disruption of essential services.
