Houthis Fire Missiles at Aden Presidential Palace, Officials Say
Yemen's Houthis fired missiles Thursday at the Maashiq presidential palace complex in Aden. Two government officials said two security guards were killed.
5 missiles hit the complex, Information Minister Moammar al-Eryani said.
6 or more explosions struck near the palace, witnesses said.
The prime minister and cabinet members at the complex were unharmed.
The Houthis said they targeted a Saudi-run operations headquarters and weapons depots.
Why it matters: Attacks on the palace area are rare. This one marks a widening fight between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia.
20 attacks hit Riyadh's main airport this month, killing 17, the coalition said.
3 people were killed in attacks on Abha airport, the coalition said.
