On Thursday, Yemen's Houthi forces launched a missile attack on the presidential palace complex in Aden, southern Yemen. The assault resulted in the death of two security guards, according to two government officials who spoke with Reuters. Prime Minister Ahmed Abd Rabbuh and his cabinet members, who were present at the Maashiq presidential palace complex, were unharmed, according to Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani.
The Houthi-run Saba news agency reported, citing a military official, that the group had specifically targeted a military operations headquarters belonging to Saudi officers at the complex, as well as weapons depots. However, Reuters was unable to independently verify these claims.
The Houthi military spokesperson, Yahya Saree, stated that the attack on the Saudi military operations headquarters in Aden was in line with the group's policy of targeting Saudi military build-ups wherever they are located. Three witnesses had previously informed Reuters that they had heard loud booms near the palace complex.
