Yemeni PM Comments on Aden Airport Attack

Maeen Abdulmalik, Yemeni Prime Minister (PM) said that his government will carry out its work despite all challenges and will not back down.

The Yemeni PM's remark came as a powerful explosion rocked the Aden Airport shortly after a plane carrying the new Yemeni government landed on Wednesday.

Abdulmalik stressed that "the terrorist act that targeted Aden airport is part of a war waged against the state," according to the Al-Arabiya News website.

"We will continue our work until the Houthi coup is ended and the state is restored," he added.

On his part, Yemen's Minister of Information Muammar al-Eryani accused the Ansar Allah armed group [the Houthis] of carrying out this terrorist attack on Aden airport, which left many people killed and seriously injured.

“We reassure our great people that all members of the government are fine," Al-Eryani said, affirming that "this cowardly terrorist attack will not deter us from carrying out our national duty."

It is worth mentioning that, initial reports indicate that a drone was used in the attack on Aden airport, injuring at least 20 people.

Notably, Yemen’s new unity government was sworn in, 4 days ago, following long months of violent clashes in southern provinces with Houthis.
