The Houthis reportedly fired five missiles at the Maashiq presidential palace complex in Aden, where Yemen’s prime minister and cabinet members were present. Initial reports differ on the toll, with accounts citing two security guards killed and other reports reporting five deaths and 16 wounded. The strike comes amid a broader escalation involving attacks on Saudi Arabia and heightened instability linked to the wider Middle East conflict, raising concerns about further regional spillover and threats to government institutions in Yemen.
