Houthis launched five missiles at the al-Maashiq presidential palace in Aden, Yemen, according to reports. The attack targeted a key government building in the southern port city. The missile strike damaged the structure but did not result in casualties.
The Houthis, a rebel group based in Yemen, claimed responsibility for the attack. They accused Saudi Arabia of continuing its military campaign in the region. The Saudi-led coalition, which has been fighting the Houthis, reported that the rebels had launched the missiles from their positions in Yemen.
This is the second attack on the presidential palace in Aden this month. The first occurred on October 15, when the building was hit by a drone. The Houthis have been targeting government buildings in Aden as part of their ongoing conflict with the Yemeni government and its allies.
The conflict in Yemen has been ongoing since 2015, when a Saudi-led coalition intervened to support the government against the Houthis. The war has caused a severe humanitarian crisis, with millions of people in need of aid. The Houthis have been accused of using civilian infrastructure for military purposes, while the Saudi-led coalition has been criticized for its bombing campaigns.
The latest attack highlights the continued instability in Aden, a city that has been a focal point of the conflict. The situation remains volatile, with both sides accusing each other of escalating hostilities. The international community continues to call for a political resolution to the war.
