At least 15 people were killed in a major explosion at the airport shortly after the arrival of an aircraft carrying new ministers in Yemen, the Middle East, where the civil war continues.
The Yemeni government is increasing its vigilance as an attack aimed at ministers.
On the 30th at the international airport in Aden, a city in southern Yemen, a series of large explosions occurred shortly after an aircraft carrying ministers arrived from Saudi Arabia.
At that time, many government officials were gathering at the airport, and a government spokesman told NHK that at least 15 people had died and many were injured.
The ICRC International Committee of the Red Cross announced on Twitter that "one of my colleagues was killed."
Reuters reports that the explosion was due to a mortar, but details are unknown.
In Yemen, a civil war has continued for more than five years between the Saudi-backed Hadi administration and the Iran-backed rebel "Houthi".
In the Hadi administration, the cooperating forces were temporarily divided, but they were reconciled and a new cabinet was just launched in December, and the government is increasing its vigilance as an attack aimed at ministers.
At the airport in Aden, Yemen, the Middle East, where the explosion occurred, many reporters were present at the time to cover the arrival of ministers.
Of these, a video of the Middle Eastern television station Al-Arabia tells us that as passengers descend from the ramp of an arriving plane, a loud noise suddenly sounds and the gathered people flee.
Agence France-Presse also captures the moment of another explosion that appears to have occurred after the first explosion.
In the video, while black smoke is rising from the airport building, something flies to the premises, and at the same time as it lands, a loud explosion sound of Dawn echoes, and you can see the flames and smoke rising around.
