Several Houthi missiles struck Al-Maashiq Palace in Aden, killing two members of Prime Minister Shaya Al-Zindani’s security detail, Yemen’s internationally recognized government said Thursday.
The government said Al-Zindani and members of his administration were safe after the attack on the palace in Aden, the interim capital.
The Houthis said they had targeted what they described as a Saudi military operations center inside the compound. They said the strike was part of a declared strategy to target Saudi military deployments wherever they are located.
“The shelling of the Saudi enemy’s war operations headquarters in Aden comes within the framework of the declared equation of targeting Saudi military build-ups wherever they may be, and considering any military presence of the Saudi enemy a legitimate target for our forces,” the Houthi statement said.
Aden serves as the de facto capital and seat of Yemen’s internationally recognized government.
