  "account": "On Thursday, Yemen's Houthis launched a missile attack on the presidential palace complex in Aden, resulting in the death of two security guards, according to two government officials who spoke to Reuters. Prime Minister and cabinet members present at the Maashiq presidential palace complex were unharmed, Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani confirmed. The Houthi-affiliated news agency Saba reported that the group had targeted a military operations headquarters operated by Saudi officers at the complex, as well as weapons depots. However, Reuters was unable to independently verify these claims. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree stated that the attack on the Saudi military operations headquarters in Aden was part of the group's policy to target Saudi military build-ups wherever they occur. Three witnesses had previously reported hearing loud booms near the palace. The Iran-backed group has also recently cautioned airlines that Saudi airspace and airports remain unsafe. Meanwhile, the Saudi-led military coalition in Yemen reported that the Houthis had attempted to strike dozens of Saudi airports, ports, and oil facilities in the past week. The coalition noted the growing threat to Saudi civilian infrastructure as the conflict continues to escalate.",
