Yemen’s Information Ministry on Sunday accused the Houthi group of targeting a camp for displaced people in Ras Imran, west of the country’s interim capital, Aden, with three ballistic missiles, according to Anadolu Agency.
The ministry gave no details about casualties or damage at the camp.
Earlier on Sunday, local sources told Anadolu Agency that a ballistic missile they attributed to the Houthis had exploded near a government military camp in western Aden. The missile landed in an uninhabited sandy area behind an iron factory in Bir Ahmed, in Al-Buraiqa district, causing no casualties or damage, the sources said.
Authorities report attacks on Aden sites
The allegations followed a statement on Saturday from Yemen’s Interior Ministry accusing the Houthis of firing three ballistic missiles at two coast guard facilities in Aden. The group acknowledged attacking two military sites in the city.
Three powerful explosions were heard across Aden on Saturday afternoon. No official figures on casualties or damage were announced.
Yemen’s Information Ministry also accused the Houthis of targeting Aden International Airport and the port in Al-Tawahi on Saturday. Transport Minister Mohsen Ali Haidara said the airport had come under Houthi attack for the fourth consecutive time.
The Interior Ministry said the attacks followed repeated missile and drone strikes against civilian and vital infrastructure in Aden, including its airport.
Conflict has continued since 2014
Yemen has been engulfed in conflict since the Houthis seized the capital, Sanaa, and other provinces in 2014. A Saudi-led coalition intervened in 2015 in support of the internationally recognized government.
The Houthis control much of northern and western Yemen, including Sanaa, while the internationally recognized government and allied forces retain Aden and substantial areas of southern and eastern Yemen. Renewed fighting has shifted front lines, particularly along the Red Sea coast, and control of some areas remains contested.
