Houthi rebels fired ballistic missiles Thursday at the Al-Ma'ashiq presidential palace in the Yemeni city of Aden, where the country's Saudi-backed government is based. The strike killed two security guards and wounded six others, according to Yemen's official news agency, which is aligned with the government.
The Houthis claimed the palace was targeted because it housed a Saudi military command center and weapons depots. Yemen's prime minister and cabinet members were not in the compound when the missiles struck, the agency reported, and the government said all ministers would remain in Aden despite the attack.
