  "account": "On Thursday, Yemen's Houthi militia launched a missile attack on the Presidential Palace in the southern city of Aden, according to Information Minister Moammar Al Eryani. The Prime Minister and government officials were reported to be unharmed. This marks the first time such an assault has taken place in Aden since the Houthi forces and government resumed hostilities last month, following a four-year ceasefire in the ongoing civil war. The southern port city has served as Yemen's capital since Houthi rebels seized control of the capital Sanaa in 2014, triggering a Saudi-led coalition's military intervention a year later.\n\nAl Eryani reassured the Yemeni people that the state, Prime Minister, and all government members were safe and well, describing the incident as a terrorist act.

They emphasized that the assault demonstrated the militia's inability to quell Yemenis' determination to restore state authority throughout the nation and halt their Iranian-backed subversive plans.\n\nDespite the attack, the cabinet affirmed that the government's resolve would not falter and they would continue to fulfill their national and constitutional duties. Aden will continue to serve as the central location for state institutions to carry out their responsibilities towards citizens. According to the Houthi-run Saba News Agency, the targeted facility within the palace was allegedly a military operations headquarters operated by Saudi officers, along with associated weapons depots. A military source cited by the agency stated that the headquarters had indeed been hit. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree asserted that the attack aligns with their declared policy of striking Saudi troop concentrations wherever they may be found and treating any military presence of the Saudi adversary as a legitimate target for their forces, regardless of its location.",
