A powerful explosion was heard in Aden, southern Yemen, on Wednesday, as Houthi rebels claimed a ballistic missile attack on a military camp used by the Saudi-led coalition. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said the strike targeted the Badr camp in the city, the seat of Yemen’s internationally recognised government, and described it as precise and direct. No immediate comment was available from the Yemeni government or the coalition.

The Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthi rebels said it intercepted and destroyed four drones over Riyadh and other regions on Saturday, as Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi signalled willingness to help defend the kingdom. The latest attack follows a wave of Houthi strikes on Saudi airports and oil facilities, including a deadly strike on King Khalid airport last week that killed 13 people.
