Aden airport in southern Yemen was rocked by explosions after Houthi rebels launched an attack on Wednesday, forcing flights to stop after an evacuation warning, with some U.N. staff leaving shortly before the attack.
U.N. staff were moved out just before the strike, but thankfully, no injuries were reported.
The incident adds to growing worries for aid workers and locals already dealing with ongoing conflict.
