Yemen's Houthi rebels have taken responsibility for an attack on the government headquarters in Aden, describing the building as a "Saudi war operations room." Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree stated that any Saudi military or economic presence on Yemeni land would be a legitimate target. In response, Yemen's Prime Minister Shaya Zindani condemned the attack, calling it "cowardly" and a "continuation of their criminal behaviour."

He vowed that it would not weaken his forces' resolve to continue operations against the Houthis in Yemen's south-western Red Sea coast and other front lines.
