Houthis struck the presidential palace complex in Yemen with missiles: two people killed
Members of the government who were in the complex at the time of the attack were not injured.
Two security personnel were killed as a result of an attack on the presidential palace complex in the city of Aden in southern Yemen. The prime minister and government members who were in the complex at the time of the attack were unharmed.
Two government officials told Reuters that the Houthis launched missile strikes on the Maashiq presidential palace complex on Thursday. Yemen's Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani said that a total of five missiles were fired at the complex.
The Houthi-controlled SABA news agency, citing a military official, reported that the attack was aimed at the headquarters of operations commanded by Saudi Arabian military forces and weapons depots. Reuters could not independently verify this information.
The group's military spokesman, Yahya Saree, described the strike as part of Saudi Arabia's policy of targeting military deployment sites.
Earlier, three witnesses told Reuters they heard loud explosions near the palace.
