Al Anad Air Base is a significant military installation located in Lahij Governorate, Yemen, approximately 60 kilometers north of Aden. It is one of the largest and most strategically important air bases in Yemen, historically serving as a key hub for Yemeni military aviation operations. The base gained considerable international attention during the Yemeni Civil War that began in 2015, when it became a focal point of conflict between Houthi forces and the Saudi-led coalition supporting the Yemeni government. Coalition forces, including U.S. military personnel at various points, have used the facility for counterterrorism and support operations. Al Anad has been the site of several notable attacks during the ongoing conflict, including rocket and missile strikes that caused casualties among military personnel. Its strategic location in southern Yemen makes it a critical asset for whoever controls the region.
