Bomb goes off near house of pro-coalition commander in Aden

ADEN, Feb. 25 (YPA) – An explosion was heard on Monday near home of the so-called” chief of general staff” loyal to Saudi-led coalition, lieutenant general Abdullah Salem al-Nakhei, in Aden province, southern Yemen.

The blast is resulting from throwing of a hand grenade by unidentified gunmen in a yard of a plastic factory next to al-Nakhei’s house, sparking panic in the area, according to sources in the city of Aden.

Over nearly four years, the wide spread of armed groups backed by the United Arab Emirates in Aden and other southern areas has led to a high rate of crime and terrorist attacks.
