A serious attack happened today in Yemen. Houthis, a rebel group backed by Iran, fired missiles at the presidential palace in the city of Aden.
Officials say the attack killed at least five people. The palace is where the Yemeni government works, and it is a very important building in the country.
Reports confirm that the country's prime minister was inside the area when the missiles hit, but he is safe and was not hurt.
In a related move, the coalition fighting against the Houthis said that other attacks were aimed at Saudi Arabia's infrastructure today. Infrastructure means things like power plants, oil pipelines, and roads that keep a country running.
There were also reports that two missiles hit the airport in Aden.
This attack is part of a long and violent conflict that has been going on in Yemen for years. The situation remains tense as officials continue to assess the damage.
