TREE NEWS update: Houthi forces fired six ballistic missiles at the presidential palace in Aden, Yemen’s southern interim capital, on the 15th, killing at least three security personnel and wounding six, a Yemeni government official said. Prime Minister Shayea Mohsen al-Zindani was chairing a cabinet meeting there at the time, with most ministers present. Residents reported six loud explosions and rising smoke; Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree called the strike on the “Saudi enemy military operations command” legitimate.
Houthi Missile Attack on Aden Presidential Palace Kills 3
The strike's proximity to a sitting cabinet, not the casualty count, is the story: it signals the Houthis can reach the interim capital's innermost decision-making circle, which reshapes risk calculations for anyone with exposure to Yemen's conflict economy and the shipping lanes it borders. The open question is whether the attack was a one-off signal or the start of a sustained campaign against Aden's institutions.
