Several explosions hit on Sunday a military camp in the southern Yemeni city of Aden, leaving at least 10 people dead, according to media reports.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The blasts occurred in a weapon depot in the Jabal Hadid area in the southern part of Aden, the Anadolu news agency reported, citing a Yemeni military source.

​Victims of the explosions were reportedly sent to nearby hospitals. The causes of the incident remain unknown.

Yemen has been mired in a military conflict between the government headed by Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi and Shia Houthi rebels, the country’s main opposition force.

Since March 2015, the Saudi-led coalition of mostly Persian Gulf countries has been carrying out airstrikes against the Houthis at Hadi's request.
