4 Killed In Houthi Missile Strike On Presidential Palace In Yemen

A Houthi missile attack on Yemen's presidential palace in Aden's port city left two security personnel dead, according to Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani. The prime minister and other ministers were unharmed during the strike, which targeted al-Maashiq Palace. The Houthis claimed they hit military operations headquarters and weapons depots, while the pro-government coalition led by Saudi Arabia said the attack also hit Saudi officers' bases.

The Saudi-backed coalition provides air support to pro-government forces in their offensive against the Iran-backed Houthis. In retaliation for the strikes, Houthis have targeted Saudi Arabia, launching missile and drone attacks on its airports, oil and gas facilities, and military bases. A particularly deadly Houthi missile strike killed 13 people at Riyadh's international airport in a single day, marking the deadliest attack in Saudi Arabia in over a decade.
