Houthi missile strike on Aden presidential palace kills five

The Houthi movement targeted the interim capital of Aden with a missile strike, hitting the presidential palace complex where government officials were present. While the Prime Minister and other ministers were reported unharmed, the attack resulted in five fatalities among security personnel. Saudi Arabia has condemned the escalation, accusing Iran of supplying the militia with advanced missile components. This event marks a significant intensification of the ongoing conflict between the Houthi forces and the internationally recognized Yemeni government.

Houthi missiles hit Aden but bombardment is not entry; with pro-government forces counter-attacking, ground entry by year-end is remote.

“No”Fair price range88–99¢

Five ballistic missiles hit the presidential palace in Aden, killing five, but the strike was bombardment rather than troops operating in the city.
Pro-government forces backed by Saudi air strikes launched a counter-offensive and regained territory overlooking Bab al-Mandab; the Houthis had earlier seized part of Yemen's south-western Red Sea coast near the strait.
Recent Houthi escalation has centred on missiles and drones against Saudi airports, oil and gas facilities and military bases.

CURRENT MARKET

Houthis enter Aden by December 31, 2026?

⚠Risk: The call rests on Houthi action staying stand-off; a ground offensive toward Aden, or the collapse of pro-government lines around the city, would sharply raise entry risk.

Next watch: Watch for Houthi ground presence in Aden's listed districts by the settlement deadline.
