Violent explosion rocks presidency neighborhood in Aden

A violent explosion shook the port city of Aden, southern Yemen, on Saturday, media sources said.

The sources reported that the explosion was caused by a mortar shell attack that targeted the presidency neighborhood in Al-Tawahi district.

According to the southern “Crater Sky” website, the shell landed on the house of a citizen in the area.

The motives of the bombing are not known, but it coincided with the UAE-Backed Southern Transitional Council’s preparations for a parade in Mukalla city of Hadramout province, eastern Yemen, in which Saudi Arabia recently strengthened the grip of its factions in its most important strongholds.
