Houthis Say They Struck Saudi Weapons Depot in Aden with Missiles, Drones

The claim matters less for what it hit than for where: Aden, a base of Saudi-aligned forces, sits outside the Houthis' usual northern battleground, and the group is asserting reach into the government's temporary capital. Coming without independent confirmation or casualty figures, the statement is as much messaging as military reporting, aimed at Saudi Arabia and its local allies. The open question is whether this signals a widening of the conflict's geography or a one-off signal, and how Riyadh and Aden-based forces respond.
