A video grab shows the moment an ordnance hit the airport in the southern Yemeni port city of Aden on December 30, 2020, shortly after the arrival of a plane carrying members of a new unity government. Explosions rocked Yemen's Aden airport on Wednesday shortly after the arrival of a plane carrying members of a new unity government, an AFP correspondent at the scene said. "At least two explosions were heard as the cabinet members were leaving the aircraft," the correspondent said. Yemen's internationally recognised government and southern separatists formed a new power-sharing cabinet on December 18, and arrived in the southern city of Aden on Wednesday, days after being sworn in Saudi Arabia.
