Local Editor

Nearly 28 people had been killed in the Yemeni capital, Sana'a, in a deadly bomb attack which "ISIL" Takfiris claimed responsibility for.

In an online statement, the terrorist group claimed that it was behind the deadly bomb attack that targeted the residence of two leaders of the Ansarullah movement in Sana'a on Monday night.

Furthermore, security officials said the car bomb went off behind a military hospital in Sana'a, and targeted Ansarullah leaders Faisal and Hamid Jayash during a gathering to mourn the death of a family member.

Medics said at least 28 people, including eight women, lost their lives in the act of violence. A number of others sustained injuries. However, the figures had not been officially confirmed.

Nonetheless, there were no reports on whether the two Ansarullah leaders were among the casualties.

"ISIL" claimed a June 20 car bombing against Qubat al-Mahdi Mosque in the Yemeni capital, which killed three people and wounded 16 others.

The terrorist attacks by "ISIL" come amid ongoing military strikes by Saudi Arabia, which were also meant to undermine the Ansarullah movement and restore power to fugitive ousted President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, an ally of Riyadh.
