Houthi missiles hit presidential palace in Yemen’s Aden

Houthi missiles struck al-Maashiq Palace in Aden, a port city in southern Yemen and the seat of the internationally recognised government.

Officials gave different death tolls: some said two security personnel were killed, while others reported at least four dead and 10 wounded.

Yemen’s information minister said the prime minister and other officials were safe.

The Houthis said they targeted a military operations headquarters and weapons depots at the palace.

The attack comes as Yemen’s civil war intensifies, with Houthi forces fighting government-aligned forces in several areas.

Saudi Arabia backs the internationally recognised government and is part of a coalition fighting the Houthis.

The widening conflict raises fears of a more severe war, while the sources describe no next step after the palace attack.
