They attacked the Prime Minister and ministers while they were in the palace! Maashik Presidential Palace was hit by 5 missiles: 5 people died

Yemeni Minister of Information Muammar al-Iryani, in his written statement on the social media platform of the US-based company X, stated that the Houthis targeted the Maashik Presidential Palace in Aden with 5 missiles.

THE PRIME MINISTER AND THE CABINET MEMBERS WERE ALSO AT THE PALACE

Iryani stated that the Yemeni Prime Minister and cabinet members at the Maashik Presidential Palace were fine.

5 PEOPLE DIED

Yemen Minister of Health Kasım Buhaybih, in his statement on his Facebook account, noted that 5 of the security guards and civilian personnel assigned to protect the Palace died and 16 people were injured.

In the statement made by the Council of Ministers, it was emphasized that the attack on the Maashik Presidential Palace with UAVs and missiles, which caused deaths and injuries, "clearly shows that the Houthis resorted to destructive actions targeting civilian infrastructure when they failed in the face of the will of the Yemeni people to re-establish state authority."

In the statement, it was emphasized that the attack would not weaken the determination of the state and the government, and that the struggle to end the Houthis' coup would continue.

The international community was called on to take a clear and determined stance against the attacks and to apply the necessary pressure to prevent civilians and civilian infrastructure from being targeted.

Yemen is the scene of a civil war that started after the Iran-backed Houthis took control of the capital Sanaa and some provinces in September 2014.
