The Yemeni government says that the Houthis fired two missiles at the Aden airport
The attack comes as Yemeni government forces claim to have advanced in Marib, saying they "neutralized" 430 Houthi fighters in 24 hours.
Yemen's internationally recognized government says the Houthis launched missiles at Aden airport a day after carrying out a deadly attack on the presidential palace in the port city of Bandari.
Two missiles landed near the runway of Aden International Airport on Friday, within 500 meters (1,640 feet) of a plane preparing to take off, Yemeni Intelligence Minister Muammar al-Ariani said.

List 3 of 3 The Houthis attacked Aramco a few hours after the Saudi-led coalition attacked the Sanaa oil site.
Thanking "divine providence" for averting a possible "terrible humanitarian disaster" and calling the attacks on the airport a "serious violation of international law and norms," he said at X that all passengers and crew were safe.
According to Ambassador Arjan, in a statement attributed to a military source, the Houthis announced on Friday that they attacked the "headquarters of the Saudi forces in Badr camp in Aden province" as well as a weapons warehouse.
The latest attack in Aden, which is the seat of the internationally recognized government, comes amid continued heavy fighting in Yemen's raging civil war between the Saudi-backed government and Iran-aligned Houthis.
Yemeni government forces announced earlier on Friday that the forces have advanced in Marib province, northeast of Sana'a.
Majid al-Nazili, a military spokesman for the Yemeni army, said Yemeni government forces have made significant "territorial advances" in the east of the province and secured "key positions" with air support.
He also said that the Yemeni forces "neutralized" more than 430 Houthi fighters in 24 hours and destroyed or disabled more than 100 vehicles and their military assets.
Elsewhere, in Taiz province, which has emerged as a key battlefront in the war, Yemeni government forces claimed to have repelled several "large-scale" Houthi attacks and inflicted "heavy losses" on the group.
Yemeni government forces also claimed to have captured a specialized drone team affiliated with the Houthis in Taiz region.
In recent weeks, Houthi forces have besieged the city of Taiz - Yemen's third largest urban center - by cutting off its main road from the south to Aden, causing widespread displacement and worsening the humanitarian crisis.
On Friday, the Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthis said it had shot down missiles and drones over Riyadh and other parts of Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia has accused Iran of encouraging Houthi attacks against the kingdom, including by arming and training this group.
But Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs denied this accusation on Friday and said that Tehran was not involved in any Houthi operations. The ministry also reiterated the offer of mediation between the Houthis and Riyadh.
The war in Yemen began in 2014 when the Houthis, an armed group also known as Ansar Allah (Arabic for God's Supporters), seized the capital, Sana'a, and forced the government to flee.
An international military coalition led by Saudi Arabia intervened in 2015 in support of the internationally recognized government, leading to years of conflict between the warring parties.
A UN-backed ceasefire in 2022 halted most of the fighting, but tensions have been high in Yemen since the Houthis in July announced a naval blockade of Saudi Arabian ports and ships passing through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
In September, the Houthis launched a lightning ground assault on Moka, pushing back forces loyal to the Yemeni government from the Red Sea port city.
In the same month, the group's forces recaptured areas along the west coast and the Bab al-Mandab strait, including Mayon Island located in the strait.
