The Coalition to Fight Legitimacy in Yemen said Wednesday that it downed an explosive-laden Houthi drone that attempted to target the presidential palace in Aden. Arab Coalition spokesman Col. Turki al-Malki said “the joint forces shot down and destroyed the bomb-laden drone launched by the terrorist Houthi militias to target Maasheq palace.” He said such a “desperate terrorist attempt” confirms the responsibility of the Iran-backed Houthis for the attack on Aden airport that happened moments after a plane landed carrying the newly formed Yemeni cabinet. “Such terrorist acts not only target the Yemeni government, but also the aspirations of the Yemeni people,” he said. Malki reiterated the Coalition’s support for the legitimate Yemeni government and the Yemeni people to build a state and end the Houthi coup.
