"The attack on Wednesday targeted a convoy carrying Hamdi Shukri, a commander in the pro-government Giants Brigades, Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council said in a statement carried by state-run media. The bombing was a desperate attempt to undermine efforts to stabilise the security situation in the country at a time when tangible progress was being made with the support of Saudi Arabia, the Saudi-backed council said."
"Authorities would take practical and decisive measures following the treacherous terrorist attack, including pursuing the perpetrators and dismantling related support networks, the council said, according to the Saba News Agency. The government did not attribute the attack to a particular group. The Yemeni government calls on all national forces and political components to unify ranks in the face of chaos, saboteurs, and terrorism, and to treat this crime as one that affects everyone without exception, the council said."
A bombing targeting a convoy allied with Yemen's Saudi-backed government killed five people and wounded three. The convoy carried Hamdi Shukri, a commander in the pro-government Giants Brigades; Shukri survived with shrapnel wounds to his leg. Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council described the bombing as a desperate attempt to undermine security stabilisation and vowed practical and decisive measures, including pursuing perpetrators and dismantling support networks. The council called on national forces and political components to unify against chaos, saboteurs, and terrorism. The United States embassy condemned the unprovoked attack. Yemen remains mired in civil war since Houthi rebels ousted the government from Sanaa in 2014.
