Houthis Attack Yemen's Presidential Palace in Aden, Killing Security Guards
On October 15, multiple missile strikes and explosions targeted Yemen's Al-Maashiq presidential palace in Aden, killing at least two security guards and injuring several others. The attack occurred while the prime minister and cabinet members were present but unharmed. The Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed responsibility, stating they targeted a Saudi-operated military operations center within the complex. This incident marks a rare direct assault on Yemen's internationally recognized government amid escalating hostilities between the Houthis and the Saudi-led coalition, which has seen reciprocal strikes on Saudi infrastructure.
