ADEN, March 04 (YPA) – At least two persons were killed and nine others injured on Thursday in a bomb attack targeted military commanders affiliated with the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC), in the port city of Aden, southern Yemen.

The offensive operation targeted the convoy of the commander of the so-called “Support Brigades,” Mohsen Al-Wali, and the Brigades War Staff Officer, Nabil Al-Mashoshi, who were on their way to the headquarters of the Saudi-led coalition forces in Al-Buriqa area, according to local sources.

The sources explained that unidentified elements placed explosives inside a barrel on the side of the road near a garbage dump in Al-Sha`ab city, killing two and wounding nine others, while the two commanders survived.

Other sources said that the attack was carried out with a car bomb.

The Support Brigades pledged a harsh and painful response to what they described as the terrorist elements and outlaws.
