Al Jazeera reported, citing Yemeni Health Minister Qasim Mohammed Buhaibeh, that five people were killed and 16 injured in an attack on the al-Maashiq Presidential Palace in Aden. Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree claimed responsibility for the incident, characterizing it as a strike against a Saudi military operations headquarters, while Yemeni President Rashad al-Alimi described the event as part of broader regional hostilities and confirmed that the "Dawn of Yemen" operation would continue.

The US Department of the Treasury announced new sanctions targeting 16 individuals and 10 entities related to Iran, while Yemen’s government reported that a Houthi missile strike on the presidential palace in Aden did not result in casualties among the prime minister or cabinet.

Saudi Arabia and the United States reported intercepting Houthi attacks and, respectively, the Houthis denied involvement in strikes on Riyadh, while CNN reported that the US military has formulated strike plans against Iranian targets, a claim Iran has not publicly verified.

The UN Security Council issued a statement condemning Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, which officials said included strikes on civilian aviation and energy infrastructure causing casualties. This characterization of the incidents as "escalatory" and the specific attribution of civilian deaths were based on the claims presented by member states during the session.

UK Defense Secretary Wes Streeting stated on Thursday that Ukraine is utilizing unmanned boats to target Russian naval assets. He indicated that each of these maritime drones costs approximately $250,000, though independent verification of these figures and operational details has not been provided.
