The Houthis launched a missile attack on the presidential palace in Aden, Yemen, on Thursday, killing at least four people. The attack targeted the interim government's headquarters, according to Yemeni government sources. The Houthis, backed by Iran, fired five missiles at the site.
The attack occurred in the southern city of Aden, a key location in Yemen's ongoing conflict. The government reported that the missiles struck the presidential palace, causing significant damage. Local officials confirmed the casualties, though the exact number remains under investigation.
This marks another escalation in the war between the Houthi rebels and the internationally recognized Yemeni government. Saudi Arabia has previously accused Iran of encouraging the Houthis to increase hostilities. The attack comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with both sides continuing to exchange fire. The Houthi group has been fighting the Yemeni government since 2015, leading to a humanitarian crisis that has affected millions. The conflict has resulted in widespread destruction and a severe humanitarian emergency.
