> Yemen’s Houthi rebels said they attacked Aden International Airport on Wednesday with ballistic missiles and explosive-laden drones, and claimed to have targeted Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport with drones. A missile near Aden forced a Cairo flight to divert to Jeddah. The Saudi-led coalition said it intercepted another missile north of Riyadh, while Saudi authorities did not immediately confirm the reported airport attacks.
