Black smoke rises from the presidential palace in Aden, the southern port city serving as the Yemeni government's temporary capital.

On the 15th local time, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a missile attack targeting the presidential palace of the internationally recognized Yemeni government.

The Houthi rebels claimed that the attack targeted an operations headquarters inside the presidential palace commanded by Saudi military officers.

While the attack caused panic, prompting nearby residents to urgently evacuate, the Yemeni prime minister and other cabinet members inside the presidential palace complex were reportedly unharmed.

Meanwhile, the Saudi-led coalition announced on the 15th local time that Yemen's Houthi rebels launched 20 attacks in October alone on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, the Saudi capital.

These attacks resulted in 17 deaths and 333 injuries.

The coalition added that Houthi rebel attacks on Abha International Airport, located in southwestern Saudi Arabia near the Yemeni border, left 3 people dead and 28 injured.

As attacks targeting Saudi Arabia continue, a summit between the European Union and Gulf nations has also faced disruptions.

Due to the persistent threat from Houthi rebels and the prolonged suspension of operations at King Khalid International Airport, the summit originally scheduled to be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on the 24th has been postponed indefinitely.
