The presidential palace of al-Maasheeq in Aden where the government returning from exile resides has come under a new attack by armed drones, local sources.

Air defenses managed to repel the attack, said the sources.

This is the second attack since the Houthi militia launched missile and drone attacks directed at the government upon its return from exile in December 30. The missile that struck the airport upon the government’s landing killed and injured hundreds of people, mostly civilians.
