Houthi attacks hit Yemen's Aden palace and Saudi targets; Saudi sporting events disrupted

Iran-aligned Houthis fired missiles at the Maashiq presidential palace in Aden, Yemen, killing five people, according to the Yemeni government. The Saudi-led coalition listed dozens of Houthi attacks on Saudi infrastructure in recent weeks. Several major sporting events in Saudi Arabia were postponed or cancelled amid repeated attacks on airports and infrastructure, and Saudi Arabia's deputy foreign minister called the attacks war crimes. Sources differ in emphasis: some focus on the palace strike, others on Saudi responses, the war's history, or a report that the Houthis are building missiles with Chinese parts.
