Security sources in Yemen stated on Wednesday evening that explosions had occurred in Aden, which serves as the seat of the country’s internationally recognized government.

The Iranian-backed Houthi movement has repeatedly attacked Aden during the ongoing conflict—a conflict that is, in part, a direct consequence of the Iran war.

Two missiles were fired at facilities belonging to the Saudi-led coalition, which is fighting against the Houthi movement. The facilities are located near the Gulf of Aden, which leads into the Red Sea.

A third missile was fired toward an area in central Aden.

In recent times, amid an escalation in the conflict, the Houthi movement has repeatedly targeted locations in both Saudi Arabia and parts of Yemen. In turn, Saudi Arabia and its allies have launched attacks on Houthi targets.
