Yemen's Houthis claim strike on Saudi-run military camp in Aden
The group said the strike hit a military operations room and followed earlier drone attacks that the coalition said were intercepted.
- On Wednesday, the Houthi group targeted Aden International Airport with a ballistic missile, striking the Saudi-led coalition's military operation room at Badr Camp. Smoke was seen rising near the airport following the attack.
- The Houthi movement, also known as Ansar Allah, launched the strike after accusing the Saudi-led coalition of targeting civilians in the Taiz Governorate. Spokesman Yahya Saree claimed the strike was "precise and direct."
- Local Yemeni authorities reported 73 killed and 200 wounded during a training drill at a government military camp earlier this week. Escalating violence has caused energy prices to spike and accelerated an economic crisis.
- British Secretary of State for Defence Wes Streeting condemned the attacks as "absolutely despicable," announcing deployment of Royal Air Force Typhoon jets and an RAF A400M transport aircraft to Saudi Arabia for defensive missions.
- Egyptian President Abdel Fattah requested parliamentary authorization last week to act in Saudi Arabia's defense if asked. The National Defence Council pledged support as the international community monitors the front between the Saudi-backed government and Iran.
