According to reports from Yemen, three missile attacks targeted the hotel where Khaled Bahah, the Prime Minister of the government led by Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi, is staying in the port city of Aden in southern Yemen. Khaled Bahah returned to Aden from exile in Saudi Arabia at the end of September, following advances by Mansur Hadi's supporters. Several other ministers from the exiled government accompanied him in this return. It has been reported that this hotel (Al-Qasr) has also served as the residence for ministers. On October 6, the French news agency quoted a local official stating that a group was 'killed and injured' in the missile attack. One of the ministers said shortly after the attacks that Mr. Bahah was unharmed. A reporter from the French news agency also noted seeing a column of smoke rising from the area where the 'Al-Qasr Hotel' is located. This hotel is situated on the western outskirts of the city and is the Prime Minister's residence. Witnesses at the scene confirmed the presence of rescue and law enforcement forces, stating that the missile targeted the entrance of the hotel. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the missile launch. The Houthi rebels and their allies, a group of supporters of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, are engaged in battles with Mansur Hadi's supporters and his government. A coalition led by Saudi Arabia has been conducting attacks against the Houthis since last spring. The battles have resulted in civilian casualties, and human rights organizations have expressed concern that the parties involved in Yemen have committed 'war crimes.' In this context, the Arab coalition reported the seizure of an 'Iranian boat carrying weapons' destined for Yemen, while an 'informed source' from Iran dismissed the presence of weapons on the seized boat as 'fabrication.' How far will the power struggle between Iran and Saudi Arabia go? Jafari: The IRGC is ready for a swift and harsh response to Al Saud.
