- Houthis launched a missile attack on Yemen's presidential palace in Aden, killing two people, as confirmed by a Yemeni government minister.
- Yemeni government stated that the prime minister and cabinet survived the attack, underscoring the resilience of key leadership despite the strike.
- Iran-aligned Houthis conducted the assault, reinforcing their ongoing campaign against Yemeni government institutions backed by regional rivals.
- Aden was the site of the attack, marking a direct strike on a major political and administrative center in southern Yemen.
Why it matters: The attack kills two and risks escalating conflict in southern Yemen, where the government relies on fragile alliances. Surviving leadership may rally support, but continued Houthi reach into Aden challenges territorial control and regional security efforts.
