Houthis strike Yemen’s Aden: What that means

Iran-backed Houthis fired five missiles at Aden’s Al-Maashiq Presidential Palace on Thursday, killing five people and wounding 16. Health Minister Qasem Buhaibeh said the casualties included guards and civilian employees; two bodyguards of Prime Minister Shaya al-Zindani were killed, while the prime minister and other officials were safe. On Friday, two missiles landed on the grounds of Aden International Airport as a passenger plane prepared to depart for Cairo. The attacks come as Yemen’s war, largely frozen under a 2022 truce, has reignited amid wider regional tensions involving Iran.
