Houthi missile attack on Yemen's presidential palace in Aden killed five, with two bodyguards among the victims. The Houthis have been launching attacks on Saudi Arabia's infrastructure, with the Saudi-led coalition reporting 20 attacks on King Khalid International Airport in 11 days. Iran has denied supplying weapons to the Houthis but has offered to facilitate talks between Saudi Arabia and the group.
