Yemen

Fighting between Yemen’s Houthis and government forces has intensified amid claims of heavy casualties, worsening shortages in Taiz and rising regional tensions.

Missiles struck Yemen’s Aden airport in the second such attack in less than 10 days, with the government accusing Houthi rebels of targeting the airport near a Yemenia Airways plane preparing for takeoff.

Houthi forces have cut the main road to Aden, trapping the city and worsening shortages of food, fuel, medicine and clean water.

A renewed Houthi siege has disrupted access to food, fuel and humanitarian supplies in Yemen’s Taiz, where more than 600,000 people depend on aid.

Indians have been urged to remain indoors during aerial attacks as strikes target civilian infrastructure and flight services face disruptions.

At least six explosions struck near Maashiq palace in Aden, with officials reporting two deaths and six injuries as fighting intensifies across the region.

The group says it launched a ballistic missile at King Khalid International Airport and three others at Saudi-backed Yemeni forces, following Saudi claims of intercepting a missile aimed at the capital.

A report says the Iran-backed group is seeking parts from Chinese suppliers to develop an advanced ballistic missile system, as fighting cuts off food assistance to 800,000 people.

Randhir Jaiswal’s comments were in response to a query following fresh escalation in attacks on Saudi infrastructure by Iran-backed Houthis.

A limited fire broke out at an Aramco administrative building in the Eastern Province after an attack, with no injuries reported.

IndiGo, Air India Express, Air India and Akasa Air announced cancellation of services.

Yemen’s government says its military operation against the Houthis is advancing with Saudi support, as fighting intensifies near Taiz and strikes target Sanaa and Saudi Arabia.

In response, Houthi military spokesperson warned that any Saudi attack on Sanaa would be met with a “firm and painful” response in Riyadh.
