Aden (South24 Center)

Military camps belonging to Southern Forces in the capital Aden came under Houthi missile attacks on Friday evening (November 13), a military source told South24 Center. The group claimed responsibility for a ballistic missile and drone attack targeting Ras Abbas Camp in western Aden, alongside separate strikes in Lahj and Al-Jawf governorates.

The military source told South24 Center on Saturday (November 14) that Houthi missiles had targeted Southern Forces' camps in the city, without providing details of casualties or material damage.

In a military statement issued on Friday, Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree announced that the group had launched several ballistic missiles and drones at Ras Abbas Camp in western Aden, claiming to have targeted Saudi weapons depots at the facility.

Saree claimed that the strikes had hit their intended targets and caused fires at the depots. However, the reported damage could not be independently verified.

In separate statements, the Houthi spokesperson also claimed missile attacks against Saudi military concentrations in the Khraz and Khor Umairah areas of Lahj Governorate, as well as the targeting of Saudi forces in eastern Al-Jawf with two ballistic missiles.

No independently confirmed information was available regarding the results of these attacks or the extent of the damage and casualties at the targeted locations.

Earlier Attack Near Refugee Camp in Lahj

The latest escalation followed a Houthi ballistic missile attack on the Khraz area in Al-Mudharaba and Ras Al-Ara District, western Lahj, on Thursday evening (November 12), according to a military source who spoke to South24 Center.

The source reported preliminary information indicating that a Somali refugee woman had been killed and others wounded after missiles struck the area near Khraz Refugee Camp. Local media also published footage of the missile attack.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the Houthis claimed to have carried out six operations using six ballistic missiles against what they described as military concentrations at Khraz Camp and other positions in the Khraz and Ras Al-Ara areas.

The group did not explicitly claim to have targeted the refugee camp itself. Its statement referred to military targets, while separate field reports indicated that the refugee settlement had been affected by the shelling. Video footage circulated by South24 Center showed smoke rising from the area following the reported missile attack.

The reported civilian casualties could not be independently confirmed, and no definitive casualty toll was available.

The attacks come amid a continuing military escalation in Aden and Lahj since October, during which the Houthis have repeatedly launched missiles toward Aden International Airport, the vicinity of the Maashiq Presidential Palace, and military and security facilities.

Several of those attacks caused fatalities and injuries, while others damaged infrastructure and temporarily disrupted operations at Aden International Airport.
