> The Houthis fired missiles at Aden’s presidential palace, killing five people and injuring 16, then hit the grounds of Aden International Airport with two missiles the following day; no casualties were reported there. The strikes targeted the seat of Yemen’s internationally recognised government as the country’s war reignites and becomes another front in the wider regional conflict.
