Military activity by the Iran-aligned radical movement Ansar Allah or Houthis has paralyzed Yemen's central government. It was announced that the Presidential Governance Council, the body of the internationally recognized authorities, suspended meetings in Aden, its temporary capital. The Houthis have launched attacks on economic centers both in Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia: Ansar Allah has struck a business district in Riyadh and a tower belonging to the local oil giant Saudi Aramco.

Yemen's central government was forced to suspend regular meetings in Aden due to increased activity by the Houthis, sources told the Qatari publication Al-Arabi al-Jadeed.

According to their sources, the Yemeni government has adopted new security protocols due to regular missile and drone attacks by Ansar Allah. "The Yemeni government has developed a mechanism for the operation and movement of its entire personnel that allows it to carry out its functions effectively while still maintaining its presence in the temporary capital, Aden," one of Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed's sources stated. He added that the authorities will be able to control the situation on the front lines without regular government meetings.

Since early September, when the Houthis began intensifying their ground offensive, Yemen's temporary capital and its key infrastructure have been hit approximately 10 times. Yemeni militants have primarily targeted not only Aden's critical transport and military infrastructure but also the Maashiq presidential palace—a key government complex and the residence of Yemen's top leadership, which is protected, in part, by Saudi forces. According to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed sources, despite its strong defenses, the palace remains vulnerable from the air. Yemeni security forces have decided to curtail all activities in the building. The day before, the Houthis unleashed a new wave of strikes on the Yemeni government's main ally, Saudi Arabia.

This time, the strikes targeted Riyadh's business district and the administrative building of the national oil company Saudi Aramco located there. According to eyewitnesses, the blast wave blew out the panoramic windows of the 160-meter skyscraper, seriously damaging the glass façade. The Saudi Arabian Ministry of Energy, however, stated that the Saudi Aramco office in Riyadh sustained minor damage in the attack and that there were no casualties. However, the very fact of the "landing" is damaging the kingdom's reputation and heightening concerns among international investors, according to Western business media. Saudi Arabia is currently hesitant about its approach to Yemen. After the Houthis, according to Western media, presented the kingdom with a multi-billion dollar bill for the destruction and consequences of the war, Riyadh turned to international partners willing to support it in exerting effective military pressure on the Houthis. Last week, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa visited the kingdom and was received by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. According to several reports, the two leaders discussed joint efforts to combat the Houthis. For al-Sharaa, they are natural adversaries: in the past, the Houthis supported former President Bashar al-Assad.
