Attack was the first on Aden’s Al-Maashiq palace ⁠in the latest fighting between ​the Iran-aligned Houthis and Saudi Arabia

Yemen’s Houthis fired missiles at the presidential palace complex in the southern city of Aden on Thursday, killing five people, the government said, as the Saudi-led coalition listed dozens of Houthi attacks on Saudi infrastructure in ⁠recent weeks.

The attack was the first on Aden’s Al-Maashiq palace ⁠in the current conflict between ​the Iran-aligned Houthis and Saudi Arabia. The palace is the seat of Yemen’s Saudi-backed and internationally recognised government.
