Corroborated · Aden, Yemen ·
Several outlets report that missiles were fired at Aden airport in Yemen, and the Houthis claim the attack. Reports differ on the outcome: Aviation Today says missiles struck the airport near a Yemenia flight and passengers were evacuated safely, Around Prague says missiles landed near the runway, and Ahram Online says strikes hit the airport complex. Mezha.net's headline says a Saudi-led coalition intercepted a missile bound for Yanbu, and Bloomberg says Saudi Arabia intercepts attacks.

Corroborated: 4 independent sources.
Sources disagree on:
- Aviation Today says missiles struck Aden Airport near a Yemenia flight; Around Prague says missiles landed near the runway, not that the airport was struck
- Al Jazeera and Bloomberg say the airport was hit; Around Prague's wording implies a near miss
- Mezha.net's headline says a Saudi-led coalition intercepted a missile bound for Yanbu while missiles struck Aden airport; Bloomberg says Saudi Arabia intercepts attacks
- Times of India headline says the Houthis claimed an attack on a Saudi military HQ in Aden, while other outlets describe the target as the airport
- Aviation Today reports passengers evacuated safely; no other listed source reports casualties or evacuations
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.
