Houthis claim attack on Aden naval base and military camp

Summary

Yemen's Houthis claimed an attack on Saturday on a naval base and a military camp in Aden, the interim seat of the internationally recognised government, after blasts were heard there, according to AFP reporting carried by Middle East Eye. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the group targeted what he called Saudi enemy concentrations at the so-called Al-Nasr camp and the naval base, and said the sites were overseen by Saudi forces. The Hindu also reports that the Houthis said they attacked Aden and Saudi Arabia after deadly strikes, and that they targeted Saudi airports, energy installations, a pipeline and an air base over the past 24 hours. The Hindu's headline puts the death toll from Saudi strikes at 16, but its summary does not confirm that figure, so this article does not confirm it either.
