At least 12 people killed and several others injured in Yemen after a car exploded near Aden airport
One security source said the car exploded at an outer entrance to the airport near an airport hotel.
At least 12 civilians have been killed in a blast near the airport of Aden, the Yemeni government's interim capital. "Twelve civilians were killed in an explosion" in the vicinity of Aden airport and "there are also serious injuries", a senior security official told AFP news agency on Saturday, who spoke on condition of anonymity.The explosion comes almost three weeks after six people were killed in a car-bomb attack that targeted Aden's governor, who survived.
The internationally recognised government relocated to Aden from the capital Sanaa in 2014, forced out by the Huthis, who are fighting Saudi-backed Yemeni government loyalists.No one has yet claimed responsibility for Saturday's blast, which is the deadliest in the area since December last year, when an attack targeting cabinet members ripped through Aden's airport.
