Sana'a (dpa) - Yemeni ministers were evacuated Tuesday from their temporary headquarters in the southern city of Aden after a series of explosions that reportedly killed 15 Arab soldiers and Yemeni militiamen.
Prime Minister Khaled al-Bahah wrote on his official Facebook page that two rockets fell in the grounds of the city's Qasr Hotel, where members of the government have been staying.
The official news agency of the United Arab Emirates said that 15 people - soldiers of the Arab alliance backing exiled President Abd Rabu Mansour Hadi and Yemeni loyalist militiamen - were killed in the blasts.
It blamed the attack, which Yemeni officials said also hit two buildings used by UAE commanders in the city, on the Houthi rebels and forces loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
