The Battle of Aden was a nearly four-month battle in 2015 for the control of Aden, Yemen, between Houthis rebels and Yemen Army forces loyal to Ali Abdullah Saleh on one side, and Yemen Army units loyal to Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi and Southern Movement militias on the other side.
The battle began on 25 March 2015, as pro-Saleh troops seized control of Aden International Airport and Hadi fled the country by boat. On 16 July the pro-Hadi forces again seized control of Aden port and were moving into the city's commercial center.[17][18] On 22 July, pro-Hadi forces had retaken full control of Aden, and the Aden Airport was reopened.[19] In late July, an offensive launched by pro-Hadi forces drove Houthi forces out of the towns neighboring Aden.[6]
