MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Military aircraft launched another attack against the compound of Yemeni President Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi in the southern Yemen city of Aden on Friday, local sources told Sputnik.
Sources told Sputnik that the aircraft are attacking the presidential residence and air defense forces are trying to repulse the attack.
On Thursday Middle East Eye reported, citing witnesses, that the presidential compound in Aden was hit from air. The Yemeni media said that President Hadi was evacuated after the attack but did not leave the country.
Earlier, Al Arabiya News Channel reported that clashes between the supporters of the toppled Yemen president and the country's current leader have intensified near Aden International Airport.
Yemen's capital of Sanaa is currently controlled by the Ansar Allah Houthi rebel group. In late January, Houthi rebels seized the presidential palace and government buildings forcing President Hadi and the country's government to resign.
In late February, however, Hadi escaped house arrest, fled to Aden and withdrew his resignation.
