Houthi forces launched missile and drone strikes on Al-Maashiq Palace in Yemen's Aden, killing and wounding security personnel, Yemen's state-run SABA news agency reported, citing a cabinet statement, according to infohub.kz.
The government statement did not specify the exact death toll. According to Khaleej Times, four people were killed and ten others wounded.
Yemen's Information Minister Muammar al-Eryani said five missiles were fired at the complex. The palace serves as the residence of the internationally recognized government, which is backed by Saudi Arabia.
The cabinet condemned the attack and said it would continue operating in the city. "The temporary capital, Aden, will remain the center of government operations," the statement published by SABA said.
The Houthis claimed responsibility for the strike. Their military spokesman, Yahya Saree, said the target was a Saudi military headquarters. He described the attack as part of a policy of "striking Saudi military gatherings wherever they may be."
The strike came amid intensified fighting between the Houthis and Saudi-backed forces. In recent days, the group has attacked Saudi airports and oil facilities. According to coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki, since the beginning of October, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh has come under 20 attacks, killing 17 people and wounding 333 others.
Earlier, Kursiv reported that on October 5, Yemen's Saudi-backed government announced the start of a military operation against the Houthis. The authorities aim to recapture lost territories, including the capital Sanaa, which the group has held since 2014.
Amid the escalating conflict, the Houthis attacked Riyadh's airport. Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry condemned the strikes on civilian infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. According to preliminary data from the ministry, no Kazakh citizens were among the dead or injured.
