Cairo, Dec 16, (dpa/GNA) – At least three people were killed and 13 others injured in an explosion in south-western Yemen, security sources told dpa on Thursday.
An explosive device detonated outside the headquarters of the Yemeni Congregation for Reform party, commonly known as al-Islah, in the city of Taiz, they said.
All of the victims were civilians, including women and children. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
Taiz, one of Yemen’s most densely populated cities, is under the control of the Yemeni government. The Islamist al-Islah party is among the country’s largest political groups.
The country has been divided for more than 10 years since the Houthi militia, which is allied with Iran, overran the north and brought it under its control.
Saudi Arabia and its allies are fighting alongside the government in an attempt to push back the Houthis.
At the same time, tensions persist within the anti-Houthi alliance.
In the south and east, separatists supported by the United Arab Emirates have taken over large areas and pushed back the government troops.
