Missiles struck Aden International Airport in Aden, Yemen on 28 October 2026, according to Yemeni government, military and police sources, with two ballistic missiles reported by the government and several civilians reported injured by the Yemeni military. Flights were halted and the airport was later reported reopened, while a police source told AFP that a missile fell inside the airport perimeter shortly before the Houthis called for evacuation. The Yemeni government blames the Houthis, and a Houthi spokesman, as cited by the Washington Times, said the missiles were aimed at a Saudi cargo plane.

Details by origin

Each detail, with the independent origins that reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. A row counts no more independent origins than the event does above; where it lists more, it says so. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
