Houthis fire missiles at Yemen’s presidential palace complex in Aden, killing two security guards, according to Yemeni officials and Reuters. The attack also involves reports that two government officials were killed. The prime minister and cabinet members present at the Maashiq presidential palace complex are reported unharmed.
Officials say five missiles were launched at the complex. The Houthis, which run Saba news agency and issue statements through their military spokesperson, describe the strike as part of a policy to target Saudi military build-ups and claim the attack hit a facility they portray as a Saudi military operations headquarters and weapons depots. Reuters reports it cannot independently verify Houthi assertions. Witnesses reported loud booms near the palace.
Separate reporting also notes that the Houthis have recently warned airlines that Saudi airspace and airports remain unsafe, underscoring their broader warnings beyond the strike itself.
