The Houthis claimed responsibility for Thursday’s attack in the vicinity of the palace used by Yemen’s internationally recognised government, in Aden, where at least six explosions struck the area and at least two people were killed, according to witnesses and an official cited by The Hindu.

No minister present in the palace was harmed, and Youth Minister Nayef Saleh al-Bakri asked cabinet members not to leave the city, according to the Times of India.
