A gunman killed a senior Yemeni army officer in the Hadi-regime in Aden Monday, as violence in the southern port city, military sources said.
The gunman, who was on the back of a motorcycle, killed General Abedrabbo Hussein as he was leaving his home in the Sheikh Othman district of the city, the sources said.
Hussein was commander of the 15th Infantry Brigade, which operates in Abyan province, west of Aden, where Al-Qaeda has seized several large towns in recent weeks.
Former fugitive President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi’s government declared Aden the country’s provisional capital last March, after the Houthi Ansarullah movement and their allies drove it out of Sana’a and much of northern Yemen.
Al-Qaeda and the ISIS terror group have stepped up attacks in the city.
