# Iran-aligned Houthi rebels killed five people in a missile and drone attack at the presidential Al-Maashiq Palace in Aden, the headquarters of Yemen’s internationally recognised government. The attack was the first on the palace ⁠in the current conflict between ​the Houthis and Saudi Arabia. The deceased include two members of prime minister Shaya Al-Zindani’s security detail and civilian employees working at the government complex. Sixteen people were injured. The Houthis claim the strike was part of a declared strategy of targeting Saudi military deployments wherever they are located.
