On Thursday, the Yemeni Houthi group launched a missile attack on the presidential palace complex in Aden, the southern city. According to two government officials who spoke to Reuters, the attack resulted in the deaths of two security guards. The prime minister and cabinet members were present at the Maashiq presidential palace complex at the time, but they remained unharmed, according to Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani.
The Houthi-run Saba news agency reported, based on information from a military official, that the group had targeted a military operations headquarters run by Saudi officers, as well as weapons depots within the complex. However, Reuters was unable to independently verify these claims. Yahya Saree, the Houthi military spokesperson, claimed that the strike on the Saudi military operations headquarters in Aden was consistent with the group's policy of targeting Saudi military build-ups wherever they occur. Three witnesses had previously informed Reuters of hearing loud booms near the palace complex.
