In brief
A Houthi missile struck Aden’s Al‑Maashiq Palace on Monday, killing two security officers and injuring dozens. The attack targeted the seat of Yemen’s internationally recognised government while the prime minister’s office was spared. Saudi‑led forces back the government, and the escalating conflict has already claimed over a thousand lives in the past month, with Iran alleged to play a supporting role. The latest strike adds a new spike to an already volatile situation.
