Houthis TARGET Saudi Military HQ In Aden! Deadly Missile Strike Kills Five | WATCH

Houthi rebels have launched a major missile attack on Yemen's presidential palace in Aden, killing at least five people and injuring 16 others, according to Yemen's health minister. The attack took place on October 15, when five ballistic missiles struck the al-Ma'asheq Palace complex, the seat of Yemen's internationally recognized Saudi-backed government. Yemen's prime minister, Shia al-Zindani, was present at the complex but escaped unharmed. However, two members of his security detail were reportedly among those killed, along with other security personnel and civilian employees. Following the strike, the Houthis claimed responsibility, describing the target as the Saudi military operations headquarters in Aden. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sari said the operation targeted Saudi military positions and weapons depots. However, these claims have not been independently verified. Yemen's government condemned the attack, with Prime Minister al-Zindani calling it cowardly and vowing to continue the government's operations despite the assault. Officials also insisted that Aden would remain the center of government activity. But the missile attack was not the end of the escalation. On October 16th, two more missiles struck the grounds of Aden International Airport, raising fresh concerns over the safety of civilian aviation. The missiles reportedly landed close to a Yemeni Airways aircraft preparing for a flight to Cairo. No casualties were reported in that incident. The Houthis said the airport area strike targeted a Saudi military command headquarters and weapons depot at nearby Badr camp. Yemen's government, meanwhile, condemned the attack as a threat to civilian aviation. The strikes come as fighting intensifies between the Houthis and forces backed by the Saudi-led coalition, following the collapse of a truce earlier this year. With Aden's government facilities and airport now reportedly targeted, the conflict risks spreading further across southern Yemen, while prospects for renewed negotiations remain uncertain.
