Violent explosions shook the temporary capital of Aden, on Friday, following a bombardment by Houthi militias with several ballistic missiles.

Yemeni sources told "Al Ekhbariya" that the explosions heard in Aden were caused by a Houthi missile attack targeting the Ras Abbas training camp in the Al-Burayqah district, west of the temporary capital of Aden.

They clarified that several Houthi missiles struck the training camp belonging to National Security Forces (formerly the Security Belt), causing loud explosions that shook the city.

Houthi militias quickly claimed responsibility for the attack and bombardment, alleging they targeted a gathering at Jabal Hadid.

Last Wednesday, Houthi militias targeted the temporary capital of Aden with ballistic missiles, resulting in two loud explosions without recording any human casualties.

During last October, Houthi militias targeted the capital of Aden approximately 10 times in an attempt to terrorize residents and force them to displace.

Houthi militias began their first ballistic missile attacks on Aden at the beginning of last October, in assaults that observers view as violations of international humanitarian law rules.

Houthi militias significantly escalated their missile attacks coinciding with their military escalation and invasion of new areas in Taiz, Lahj, and the Western Coast.
