Houthi rebels strike Aden airport as Yemen fighting escalates

Yemen's Houthi rebels attacked Aden airport as fighting intensified across Yemen on October 7, following their earlier strikes on Saudi airports. Saudi Arabia and allied states activated a defense pact in response to the Houthi attacks. The Saudi-led coalition said it has regained territory near the Bab al-Mandeb strait. Oil prices rose, with Brent crude back above $100 a barrel, amid concerns over regional tensions and exports.
