A spokesperson for the internationally recognized Yemeni government forces stated, "The Iran-linked Houthis fired ballistic missiles targeting Aden Airport and the presidential palace." However, the spokesperson did not mention any casualties or property damage resulting from the attack.
Two missiles were launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels at Aden, targeting both the presidential palace and Aden Airport, according to a spokesperson for the Yemeni government forces.
The attack occurred in Aden, the southern port city that serves as the temporary capital for Yemen’s internationally recognized government. Witnesses described ambulances arriving at the presidential palace complex shortly after the strike, which covers a large compound with government facilities and coalition installations.
The spokesperson credited the missiles to Iran-linked Houthis and stated the targets were Aden Airport and the presidential palace. No casualties or property damage were specified in the remarks.
Additional context notes that the Houthis had been active in strikes on naval and military bases the previous week, and had also hit the outskirts of Aden Airport on October 28, according to reports.
