Two missiles strike Aden International Airport, no casualties reported

On 16 October 2026 two missiles landed inside the grounds of Aden International Airport while a Yemenia Airways flight to Cairo was preparing for take‑off; the Aden Security Department blamed the Iran‑aligned Houthi group, though the group did not immediately claim responsibility and no casualties were reported.

The Saudi‑led coalition said it intercepted and destroyed three drones over Saudi Arabia’s southern and Riyadh regions, shot down two cruise missiles over the Red Sea and intercepted a ballistic missile headed for the Red Sea port city of Yanbu.
