by Fawaz Salman [TASS] Five people were killed in a car bomb blast in Aden, Yemen, on Sunday, Al Arabiya news channel reports. According to it, all victims are civilians. Five more people were wounded. According to Al Arabiya, the car bomb attack targeted a motorcade with city authorities. The car bomb went off in Tawahi district in Aden’s center. The channel specified that the governor of Aden was targeted. Besides, the minister of agriculture was among the passengers in the motorcade. Neither the governor, nor the minister was injured. Both men who were targeted in the attack are members of the separatist Southern Transitional Council (STC). Civil war erupted in Yemen in 2014 between the internationally-recognized government and the Iran-backed Houthi militia then an Arab Coalition intervened in 2015. Tensions flared when the STC claimed self-rule of parts of southern Yemen in April 2020, but the group in July rescinded this claim in an effort to present a united front with the government against the Houthi militia.
