At least five people were killed and 16 wounded Thursday in a Houthi missile and drone attack on the palace located in Yemen's interim capital – the southern port city of Aden, used by the country's internationally recognised government, an official said.

At least six explosions struck Thursday near the presidential palace used by Yemen's internationally recognised government forces and the Saudi-led coalition that supports them in the port city of Aden, witnesses said. Five people were killed and 16 wounded, reported Yemen's health minister, with Iran-backed Houthi rebels based in northern Yemen quickly claiming responsibility.
