Muammar Al-Eryani, the information minister of the Saudi-backed government in Yemen, told the BBC that the Prime Minister and other ministers present during the impact of five ballistic missiles at the palace were unharmed.

With the continuation of Houthi attacks, the European Union and Gulf countries have postponed a joint meeting that was scheduled to take place next week in Saudi Arabia. Sports and cultural events have also been canceled.
