ISIS Claims Responsibility for Terror Attacks on Yemen’s Aden

ISIS Claims Responsibility for Terror Attacks on Yemen’s Aden

Smoke from one of the explosions rises in the port city of Yemen

ISIS Takfiri terrorist group has claimed responsibility for attacks that killed and injured dozens in the southern Yemeni port city of Aden.

Alwaght- ISIS Takfiri terrorist group has claimed responsibility for attacks that killed and injured dozens in the southern Yemeni port city of Aden.

Saturday's attack occurred outside the gate of a counterterrorism camp in the city's southwest, according to the witnesses.

The sources said the blasts caused civilian and military casualties.

Officials at Aden's main Jumhouriya hospital said the bodies of five victims, most of them soldiers, had arrived at the facility, along with a number of injured people including civilians, but gave no precise figures.

Saturday's bombings were the first attack of its kind since gun battles erupted between United Arab Emirates-backed southern separatists and the faction of fugitive former president and Saudi ally Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi last month over control of Aden.

Residents described two large explosions in the area, where a cloud of grey smoke rose over the area, while ambulances raced to evacuate the wounded.

The residents initially said one of the bombers targeted an office of the separatist Southern Transitional Council, but a member of the group said there was no attack on the building.

Since March 2015, Saudi Arabia and some of its Arab allies have been carrying out deadly airstrikes against the Ansarullah movement in an attempt to restore power to Mansour Hadi.

Nearly 14,000 Yemenis, mostly women, children and the elderly, have been killed since the onset of Saudi Arabia’s military campaign against the impoverished state. Much of the Arabian Peninsula country's infrastructure, including hospitals, schools and factories, has been reduced to rubble due to the war. The Saudi-led war has also triggered a worsening humanitarian crisis of unprecedented proportions across Yemen.
