SANA’A: At least four killed and 11 injured in an explosive device detonated next to the governor’s office in the southern Yemeni city of Aden on Thursday, a local official and witnesses said, several of them critically.
The blast underscores instability in Yemen’s second largest city a month after fighters loyal to the country’s government in exile, backed by arms and hundreds of air strikes from rich Gulf Arab states, seized it from Iran-allied Houthi forces. The governor was inside but unhurt, an official said.
Meanwhile, heavy Arab air strikes hit targets throughout northern Yemen on Thursday, local officials said, as the frontlines approach Houthi strongholds there.
