Houthis launch deadly attack on presidential palace in Yemen's Aden

The Houthi militant group carried out missile strikes on Yemen's presidential palace in Aden on Thursday (Oct 15), resulting in at least four deaths and ten injuries, according to Yemeni officials. The attack targeted command centers within the palace complex, which were used by government forces and the Saudi-led military coalition.

Saudi Arabia has accused Iran of encouraging the escalation and has blamed the Iran-backed Houthis for the attacks. The conflict between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis has escalated, with the Houthis seizing territory along Yemen's Red Sea coastline in recent weeks. The recent violence threatens to disrupt the agreement reached between Iran and Saudi Arabia in 2023 that aimed to mend ties.
