> Yemen’s Transport Ministry said the Houthis attacked Aden International Airport on Wednesday with ballistic missiles and explosive-laden drones. Fighting with Saudi-backed government forces has intensified around the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, a shipping route increasingly important to energy exports as conflict between the US and Iran restricts trade through the Strait of Hormuz.
