Violent explosion rocks Aden

A violent explosion has just rocked Yemen’s southern port city of Aden, on Saturday. This was reported by Yemen News Portal, based on testimonies of local sources

According to the Source, an improvised explosive device (IED) exploded and targeted a vehicle while it was parking near the house of a military commander in the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council (STC)’s factions in the city of Enma.

It is not yet known the motives of the explosion, and whether it is related to targeting the house of the STC’s commander or not.

But it indicates a new phase of chaos that may take place in the city of Aden, especially since the incident came a few hours after unknown artillery shelling hit the presidential neighborhood in the city of Al-Tawahi.

Observers have confirmed that Saudi Arabia is seeking to escalate against the STC in its main stronghold in Aden, in reaction to the Emirati escalation in the oil plateau.
