Yémen : les Houthis visent le siège du gouvernement à Aden, au moins quatre morts
The Houthis carried out an attack on Thursday against the presidential palace where the internationally recognized government is based in Aden, southern Yemen, killing at least four people, according to government sources.
More than a dozen people were also injured, these sources told AFP.
The Saudi-backed government said in a statement that pro-Iranian fighters had fired missiles and drones at the Al-Maachiq palace, causing casualties among "security personnel," without specifying the number.
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree, for his part, claimed that his forces had "targeted the Saudi enemy's military operations headquarters" inside the palace, adding that "any Saudi military presence was a legitimate target."
An AFP journalist saw smoke and ambulances heading to the scene, while roads leading to the palace were closed to traffic.
The Yemeni government, which retreated to Aden in 2015 after being driven out of the capital Sanaa by the Houthis, "continues to carry out its functions," Prime Minister Shaya Mohsen Zindani said on social media.
He has not held any meetings at the palace for a month, a government official told AFP.
The Houthis also launched an attack on the government-held city of Marib in an oil-rich region of central Yemen, according to Yemeni government forces.
