The strikes came after a Houthi attack on a presidential palace complex in Aden, the seat of Yemen’s internationally recognized government. Aden has become a central battleground as Houthi forces confront government troops backed by a Saudi-led coalition, while fighting has intensified around Taiz and other fronts. The escalation risks widening regional tensions involving Iran, Saudi Arabia and international shipping routes, although the available reporting does not confirm broader damage or changes in control of the city.
