Jakarta: United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned Wednesday's deplorable attack on Aden airport which killed and wounded dozens of people.
According to media reports, loud explosions and gunfire were heard at the airport and clouds of smoke were seen shortly after a plane from Saudi Arabia landed, carrying members of the country’s new government.
"He extends his profound condolences to the families of the victims as well as to the people and Government of Yemen," said the spokesman of the UN chief in a statement on Wednesday.
"He wishes a speedy recovery to those injured," the spokesman stated.
Yemen, the Arab world’s most impoverished nation, has been riven by conflict since 2015, when fighting erupted between a Saudi-backed coalition supporting the internationally-recognized Government and the Houthi rebel group known formally as Ansar Allah.
"The Secretary-General reaffirms the steadfast commitment of the United Nations to support efforts to resume a Yemeni-led and Yemeni-owned political process to reach an inclusive, negotiated settlement to the conflict," the spokesperson stated.
