The Aden attack struck the Maashiq presidential complex, where Yemen’s prime minister and cabinet members were present, according to Yemeni officials cited by Reuters.[1] The reported missile interception near Medina follows a series of Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, including strikes targeting Riyadh, and has contributed to the postponement of a planned EU-Gulf summit in Riyadh.[2] The Houthi movement denied targeting the Medina region, leaving attribution and the scope of the escalation under dispute.[2][3]
