Houthi Missile Attack Hits Yemen's Aden Presidential Palace, Several KilledPreviousNext

On October 15, Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a missile attack on the Al-Maashiq presidential palace in Aden, the interim capital of the Saudi-backed government. The strike killed between four and five people, including security personnel, and injured 10 to 16 others. Prime Minister Shaya al-Zindani and cabinet members present were unharmed. The Houthis claimed they targeted a Saudi-led military operations headquarters within the palace complex. The attack marks an escalation in Yemen's civil war amid ongoing fighting and Saudi-led coalition support for government forces.
