20 Killed, 50 Injured As Suspected Houthi Rebels Attack Aden Airport

It has been reported of at least twenty-two casualties from a recent deadly terrorist attack targeted at Aden airport in the southern Yemeni city.
Press Informant learnt that no fewer than fifty people survived the attack with severe injuries. Reports emerging from the Yemen city revealed that there was at least one explosion shortly after a plane conveying the city’s newly formed government arrived from neighbouring Saudi Arabia.

Although the prime minister of the war-torn country confirmed that he and his cabinet were fine, aid workers and officials were said to be among the casualties recorded as at the time this report was given.

Confirming the incident on Twitter a few hours ago, the Yemen Information Minister, Moammar Al-Eryani, labelled the Houthi rebels of a “cowardly terrorist act”.

He tweeted:

“Information indicates that 1 journalist died in the cowardly terrorist incident that targeted Aden airport &10 injured who came to cover govt arrival.
