Houthis launched a missile attack on the Maashiq Presidential Palace in Aden, Yemen, killing at least four people, according to local officials. The attack targeted the interim capital of the Yemeni government, which is backed by Saudi Arabia. The Houthis, who are supported by Iran, fired five missiles at the palace, according to reports from Al Jazeera.
A Yemeni minister confirmed two deaths in the strike, while Saudi Arabia accused Iran of escalating the conflict. The attack comes amid a broader escalation in the Yemen war, with the Houthis intensifying their attacks on Saudi-backed government targets. The Houthi group has been linked to Iran, which has been accused of providing military support.
The conflict in Yemen has been ongoing for years, with the Houthis fighting against a Saudi-led coalition. The war has caused a severe humanitarian crisis, with millions of people in need of aid. The recent attacks have raised concerns about the continued instability in the region.
The attack on the presidential palace marks another significant escalation in the conflict. The Houthis have been targeting government infrastructure, including military and civilian sites, as part of their campaign against the Saudi-backed government. The situation remains volatile, with both sides continuing to exchange fire.
The international community has called for an end to the violence and a political resolution to the conflict. However, progress has been slow, and the situation in Yemen continues to deteriorate. The attack on the presidential palace highlights the ongoing challenges in achieving peace in the region.
