Houthi missiles hit Aden airport perimeter, wounding civilians; Houthis say Saudi strikes killed 14 at a market
Two ballistic missiles struck the perimeter of the airport in Aden, the stronghold of Yemen's Saudi-backed government, wounding several civilians and causing damage, a government forces spokesman said, calling it the sixth such attack on the airport; Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree had ordered an evacuation over a Saudi military cargo plane, which police told AFP was not hit and took off, RTÉ reported. The Iran-backed Houthis said Saudi strikes on a market and a gas station in Jawf province killed 14 and wounded 15. The Houthis relaunched Yemen's civil war last month and have repeatedly attacked Saudi Arabia, RTÉ said.
