Yemen's presidential palace in Aden was struck by missiles on Thursday, resulting in five fatalities and 16 injuries, according to reports from France 24 and other outlets. The attack marks the first on the Al-Maashiq palace amid ongoing conflict between the Iran-aligned Houthis and Saudi Arabia.

The Yemeni government confirmed that the prime minister and other ministers were unharmed during the incident. The Saudi-led coalition has reported numerous Houthi attacks on Saudi infrastructure in recent weeks, indicating a rise in hostilities in the region.
