Yemeni Prime Minister, Cabinet Unharmed After Presidential Palace Missile Attack
Two security guards were killed and smoke billowed from the Maashiq presidential palace complex in Aden after Houthi forces launched five missiles.
Yemen's Prime Minister and cabinet members escaped unharmed on October 15 after Houthi forces fired five missiles at the Maashiq presidential palace complex in Aden. The attack killed two security guards and sent thick smoke billowing from the compound, according to eyewitness footage and official statements.
The Houthis claimed to have targeted a Saudi-run military headquarters and weapons depots within the complex. Government officials confirmed the cabinet's safety despite the strikes.
The incident occurred in Aden, a key port city that survived a bloody civil war. The precise nature of the targets within the complex remains a point of contention, though the primary outcome was the death of security personnel and damage to the presidential compound.
