In brief
Yemen’s Houthi fighters fired missiles at the presidential palace in Aden, killing two guards and wounding many others. The prime minister survived, but the attack was condemned as cowardly by government leaders. Saudi‑led forces say they will keep fighting the rebels. The conflict shows how the war continues to hurt civilians and international security.
Houthi fighters fired missiles from northern Yemen, striking the presidential palace in Aden.
Information Minister Moammar al‑Eryani said two security guards were killed and many others were hurt, but the prime minister was unharmed.
The Saudi‑led coalition, which backs the international government, slammed the attack as ‘cowardly’ and vowed to keep fighting the rebels.
The strike underlines the ongoing conflict:
- Houthis keep targeting Saudi airports, oil depots and other facilities.
- Saudi air strikes hit Yemen territory, pushing the rebels up the Red Sea coast.
- Since August, at least 1,282 people in Yemen have died because of the war.
Iran is blamed by some for arming the Houthis, but Tehran has not confirmed the claim.
For the people on the front lines, the fighting remains a daily danger, while the global community watches closely.
