The international airport of Aden (ADE), Yemen’s provisional capital, was seemingly targeted by an attack shortly after a governmental plane landed.
The delegation was on board an Airbus A320, registration 7O-AFB, operated by Yemenia. Officials of the newly formed government were walking down the airbridge when several explosions hit one of the airport’s terminals.
At least 10 people were killed and dozens injured, according to first reports. None of the delegation members were injured. While the nature of the explosive used has not yet been confirmed, footage of the scene seems to indicate that missiles or mortar shells were used.
