Explosion at arms depot in Yemen’s Abyan province kills at least five

 

At least five people were killed and 30 wounded in an explosion at a weapons warehouse in Yemen, a security official said on Tuesday.

A two-storey building collapsed in the blast and survivors were pulled from its ruins, a witness said, while nearby structures were also damaged.

The official, who did not want to be named, told AFP the weapons were being stored at the bottom of the building in Lawdar, a city known for its arms market in the southern province of Abyan.
