A Yemeni journalist was killed when his car exploded while he was driving in the southern port city of Aden, an official said Thursday, the latest such attack in the seat of Yemen’s internationally recognized government.
He said in a series of posts on Twitter that al-Haidari had fled the capital, Sanaa, in 2017 due to increasing restrictions by the Houthi rebels who hold the city. No group claimed responsibility immediately for the attack. In November, a Yemeni journalist and her child were killed in an explosion that targeted her family’s vehicle in Aden.
A Saudi-led coalition entered the war in March 2015, backed by the United States, to try restore the government to power.
