Blast at Yemen’s Aden airport kills 25, wounds 110: Yemeni officials

A large explosion struck the airport in the southern Yemeni city of Aden, shortly after a plane carrying the newly formed Cabinet landed there, security officials said.

At least 25 people were killed and 110 wounded in the blast.

Yemen’s internationally recognised government said Iran-backed Houthi rebels fired four ballistic missiles at the airport.

Rebel officials did not answer phone calls from The Associated Press seeking comment.

No one on the government plane was hurt.

The officials later reported another explosion close to a palace in the city where the Cabinet members were transferred following the airport attack.
