Houthis: missile attack on Aden presidential palace left five dead

What happened: Five people were killed and several others wounded after Houthi forces fired ballistic missiles at the Al-Maashiq presidential palace in the port city of Aden. Reporting and attribution: A Saudi-backed Yemeni government statement said Prime Minister Maeen Abdulmalik Saeed is safe after the attack; it said the Houthis launched five ballistic missiles at the Al-Maashiq complex and claimed the site had been used as an operational hub by the Saudi-led coalition. The BBC (Telegram) reported the five deaths and numerous injuries and said the EU and Gulf states postponed a joint meeting planned in Saudi Arabia next week because of continued Houthi attacks. Iran International reported that the government’s health minister said the strike on the Al-Maashiq presidential complex in Aden left five dead and 16 wounded, and that the victims included guards and civilian staff.
