Houthis target Aden airport and presidential palace A military spokesman said the international airport and the nearby presidential palace in Aden were attacked by Houthi ballistic missiles on Friday, in the group's seventh target by Iran this month against the civilian airport in the interim capital. The attack came after the airport reopened on Thursday, with Transport Minister Mohsen al-Omari announcing the resumption of operations as normal after a temporary suspension imposed by a Houthi missile attack on Wednesday evening.
