Houthis attack presidential palace complex in Yemen's Aden, PM unharmed, officials say - Reuters

Missiles were fired at the presidential palace complex in the southern Yemeni city of Aden on Thursday, an attack attributed to the Houthi movement. The strike targeted the government compound in the city’s central district.

According to officials, the attack resulted in the deaths of two security guards who were stationed at the site. No other fatalities were reported, and the prime minister, who was present in the complex at the time, emerged unharmed.

Government representatives described the incident as a serious breach of security and said that emergency services responded promptly to the scene. Security forces have begun a thorough investigation to determine the exact nature of the weapons used and to assess any further damage to the facility.

The assault comes amid a broader pattern of Houthi operations directed at locations in southern Yemen, where the internationally recognized government maintains its headquarters. The group has previously launched missile and drone attacks against military and civilian targets across the country.

Authorities in Aden have pledged to reinforce security measures around key government installations and to continue monitoring the situation closely as the investigation proceeds.
