Yemen Says Prime Minister Unhurt After Iran-Backed Houthis Strike Palace

3 sources →

A Houthi missile strike targeted the al-Maashiq Palace in Aden, the seat of Yemen’s internationally-recognized government. While Prime Minister Shaya Zindani and his ministers were unhurt, at least two security personnel were killed and multiple others injured. The Houthi military claimed the strike targeted a Saudi military operations headquarters. This escalation follows the unravelling of a four-year informal ceasefire in July and recent Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabian infrastructure, which Saudi officials attribute to Iranian encouragement and support.
