Houthi forces advance in Yemen, attack Aden airport

Houthi forces are making slow advances in south-west Yemen, approaching the city of Taiz. They fired a missile and explosive towards Aden airport, hitting the facility moments before a Cairo-bound flight was scheduled to land. The attack forced the plane to divert to Jeddah. The British ambassador warned the strike could have endangered thousands of people, prompting a safety review of flights in Aden. The Houthis also claimed attacks on Saudi Arabian airports and a military supply convoy near Aden. In response, Pakistan and Turkey have agreed to provide practical measures to defend Saudi Arabia against Houthi attacks.
