Fighting near Aden as Houthis take Al-Maqatirah district
Fighting was reported at a camp on the Tur al-Bahah approach after Houthis seized Al-Maqatirah, while both sides claimed cross-border strikes into Saudi Arabia and Hodeidah.
Houthi forces moved to within about 80 kilometres of Aden, closer than at any point since 2015.
Fighting with internationally recognised government forces was under way at a military camp at the entrance to Tur al-Bahah district.
Houthis seized Al-Maqatirah after an assault that began three days earlier and now threaten positions on the Aden–Taiz road.
Houthi officials said Saudi-coalition strikes on Ras Issa port and a Bajil oil facility wounded seven people.
Houthis claimed drone attacks on Dammam Airport; the coalition said it intercepted two drones near Riyadh.
