சவூதி அரேபியாவின் வானூர்தி நிலையங்கள், துறைமுகங்கள் மற்றும் எண்ணெய் நிலையங்கள் மீது தாக்குதல் நடத்த ஹூதிகள் முயற்சி: மூவர் உயிரிழப்பு, 28 பேர் காயம்

A Houthi missile strike hit the al-Maashiq presidential palace compound in Aden, Yemen’s port city and seat of the internationally recognised government. Reports from Lankadeepa and Rupavahini News said five people were killed and 16 injured. The site includes military operations facilities used by Yemeni government forces and the Saudi-led coalition.

Yemen’s Health Minister Qasim Buhaybeh said the dead and wounded included security personnel and civilian staff, according to Rupavahini News. Prime Minister Shayea al-Zindani was at the compound during the attack and was not harmed. He condemned the strike and accused the Houthis of repeatedly targeting civilian places and people. The government said the attack would not disrupt its military operations and that Aden would remain the country’s temporary capital.

The internationally recognised government said the Houthis fired two more missiles at Aden International Airport on Friday, a day after the palace attack. Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani said they landed near the runway, about 500 metres from an aircraft preparing to depart; he reported that passengers and crew were safe. He condemned the airport attack. The Houthis, in a statement attributed to a military source and reported by AFP, said they had targeted a Saudi forces command headquarters at Badr camp and a weapons depot in Aden province.

The reports describe the attacks against a backdrop of intensified fighting after a ceasefire broke down. Newswire reported that government forces said they had advanced in Marib province with air support, taken positions, and inflicted losses on Houthi forces; the account also said government troops claimed to have repelled attacks and captured a Houthi-affiliated drone team in Taiz. These battlefield claims were attributed to the government and were not independently verified in the reports.
