The Yemeni Ministry of Information announced on Thursday that the Prime Minister and cabinet members are safe following an attack targeting the Al-Maashiq Presidential Palace in the city of Aden with several missiles, noting that two of their escorts were killed. Two Yemeni government officials reported that the Houthi group launched several missiles toward the presidential palace complex, while reports indicated that explosions were heard in the vicinity of the palace and the Al-Buraiqeh area near the coalition headquarters. In a simultaneous field development, Yemeni government forces announced confronting attacks launched by the Houthi group across several fronts, as consecutive explosions were heard in the vicinity of the city of Marib. The targeting of Al-Maashiq Palace comes amid ongoing military escalation that has included missile attacks and targeting attempts inside Saudi Arabia, according to statements by the Coalition and the Houthi group. The official spokesman for the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, Major General Turki Al-Malki, stated on Thursday that the Houthis have acquired 'advanced technologies with the assistance of regional parties,' pointing to their possession of ballistic missiles, offensive and kamikaze drones, and explosive-laden speedboats. Al-Malki announced the interception and destruction of a cruise missile in the Medina region on Thursday, while the military spokesman for the Houthi group, Yahya Saree, denied carrying out any targeting operation toward Saudi territory on that day. Saree had announced on Wednesday evening the targeting of King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh with a ballistic missile, without providing details regarding the outcome of the attack. Earlier on Thursday, the Coalition announced the interception and destruction of a ballistic missile launched toward Riyadh, following the interception of a cruise missile in Al-Kharj Governorate at dawn. Al-Malki reported that King Khalid International Airport has been subjected to 20 attacks since the beginning of October, clarifying that attacks targeting the airport between October 7 and 11 resulted in 17 fatalities and 333 injuries, involving the use of 10 drones, missiles, and other projectiles. He added that coalition forces destroyed 127 Houthi depots in mountainous areas, alongside launch pads and ballistic missile storage facilities in the mountains of Sana'a, and targeted energy stations, storage facilities, and naval docks that he stated support the group's war effort. Al-Malki accused the Houthis of attempting to target dozens of airports, oil facilities, and ports in Saudi Arabia, considering that attacks on the Kingdom's airports threaten regional security, and called on the group to immediately cease all operations he described as terrorist against civilians and civilian objects. On Tuesday, the Coalition announced the interception and destruction of six drones and six missiles launched toward the Eastern Province, the Southern Region, and the cities of Riyadh and Dhahran, while Saudi Civil Defense announced the end of danger for Riyadh and Al-Kharj Governorate following two warning alerts regarding an existing threat. In the same context, the Saudi Cabinet affirmed on Tuesday that the Houthi group will face the consequences of its repeated attacks on the Kingdom's airports, Mecca, Medina, visitors to the Two Holy Mosques, and civilian and economic facilities, expressing condolences to the victims' families and wishing a speedy recovery to the injured. During a session chaired by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Riyadh, the Council emphasized the role of the Armed Forces in defending the Kingdom and protecting its sovereignty and the safety of citizens and residents. It also praised coalition operations in Yemen, stating they aim to neutralize the Houthi threat and safeguard international peace and security, global trade movement, and supply chains. The Council stressed that the Kingdom will not permit threats to its security or to the freedom of maritime navigation in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait. In a related development, the military spokesman for the Houthi group renewed his warning that Saudi airspace and airports are 'unsafe.' Source: Rum News Agency
