The Houthis claimed the target was a Saudi military operations headquarters and weapons depot, though these claims have not been verified. The assault follows other strikes in Aden that began on Oct 2, including attacks on coalition facilities in the Al Buraiqah district and near the international airport. The Saudi-led coalition reports that Houthi actions this month have killed 17 and injured 333 people, with 20 specific attacks targeting Riyadh's airport.

Five people died and 16 were wounded when 4 ballistic missiles and drones hit the al-Maashiq Presidential Palace on Thursday, including security guards and civilian employees. Prime Minister Shaya al-Zindani and his cabinet were inside the building during the assault but survived unharmed in the first such strike on the internationally recognized government's seat during this war.
