Huge explosion targets police station headquarters in Taiz

TAIZ, Dec. 06 (YPA) – A huge explosion rocked the city of Al-Turbah, specifically the police station in Al-Shamaitain district, which is controlled by Islah Party factions, south of Taiz governorate, southern Yemen, on Saturday afternoon.

 

Local sources reported that the incident was caused by a car bomb that detonated behind the wall of the Al-Shamaitain district security headquarters. The explosion sparked panic among residents and caused material damage.
